Daily Bread: Ciabatta

This Ciabatta is our bread of choice for morning toast. 

It's the Cooks Illustrated recipe, although I have modified the mixing speeds/times to accommodate our KA Professional 5 Plus mixer (the recipe as written works well for the KA Artisan with original blade).

Also, I add a dollop of unfed sourdough with the water/milk combination, just before starting to mix in the mixer.  It adds a nice bit of tang to the bread.

This is making me so hungry.

It's past midnight and I'm drooling over this, imagining a warm slice with some soft butter. --
