Rustic Italian Ciabatta - Martin Bakes at Home

Great lookin Ciabatta. I like the way your son looks up at you when you are speaking. Total adoration in that young mans face.

It turned out beautiful! Defintely gonna try it. Also it's so nice to see the admiration your son has for you when you're teaching the recipe.

Hi Jay! You can find the temp and bake time here on the recipe that Martin and Arlo used: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/rustic-italian-ci…. We hope that helps, and wish you a big HAPPY BAKING! -👨‍🍳Eth

Thank you for sharing tour knowledge. Much appreciated.

No, you can definitely halve this and most bread recipes, Suzy! Most make two loaves simply because bread takes a fair bit of time to make, so if you're making one, you might as well make two. But there's no reason you can't make one if you prefer! The only caveat to this is that if you're making an enriched dough that calls for an odd number of eggs, round up to the nearest when dividing the recipe in half. Life's too short to be measuring out half an egg. 😁 -👩‍🍳Kat

I've had a love affair with ciabatta since I was Arlo's age it's great to see boys in the kitchen learning from the parents, my first loaf at 12yrs old was ciabatta I was very proud of myself it tasted amazing, keep on learning Arlo 👍

I brought home ciabatta from work yesterday. It was so good I decided to make a quick one at home today. It's autolyzing right now. I opened YouTube and found your video. How funny.

I have been experimenting with making breads. I have not tried Ciabatta yet but I plan to. Thanks for the lesson!

Thank you, really cool video and well explained. I'm making it today, so excited!

I've been on the KA mailing list for years now but I just recently discovered your YouTube channel. It's a gem! So glad I came across it. It's bread bakery demystified indeed! Thank you. I'll recommend your channel to other colleagues here in Costa Rica.

The son is either going to grow up hating the sight of dough or he will become a bread-making aficionado. My dad would make me tidy up, clean the dishes, keep the garden clean and tidy, keep his paperwork organised and filed. I didn't hate it but I didn't enjoy it either. I did feel that I was given these chores because I was the youngest whilst my brothers were out enjoying their time. Well, as an adult I have become my dad. The organisation he instilled in me as a kid became a part of me by the time I was 17 years old and has stayed with me ever since. My brothers on the other hand are proper slobs.

I have this exact recipe from King Arthur and I LOVE IT. Thanks a lot.

Beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏

Hi Martin. I am glad I found this video! I fancy myself a home baker - cake and pastry, but bread is not something I have really tried my hand at since I made bread years ago. Simple stuff. I was looking at the KA website for some inspiration and saw the recipe for Rustic Italian Ciabatta which looked so good! If I tried to make this by just following the recipe I imagine it would have been a huge flop and that sort of disappointment would probably have put me off trying my hand at bread again! I searched YouTube for King Arthur Rustic Italian Ciabatta and yours was the first video I found. Good thing - this is not a beginner level recipe. I was familiar with biga, but poolish (and I also read about sponge) is new territory. I I will definitely do more research and change my approach to bread-making. Back to the pastry world for me for now - off to make a maple pecan tart. (I just went back to the KA recipe and noticed that this video is mentioned and the link to this video is there...)

I’d love to see a video of you guys adding stuff to the base ciabatta dough! And/or adding to a sourdough as well! I’ve always wanted to experiment with that but never knew where to start

THE BEST BREAD MAKING EVER VIDEO thanks to teaching the world how to make Delicious Bread ❤

Good job. Amazing 😉

Thanks for these videos! Love not only the visual guides for what I haven’t made in the past, but also The parent/child dynamic!

This video is great. I'm looking forward to the video where you incorporate additional elements like olives or caramelized onions into the ciabatta. Thank you!

The first time i made this i thought, aww man, another mistake. Well, we eat our mistakes around here. So i put it in the oven and when it came out it was divine Best mistake ever Thanks for the video
