Jason's Quick Coccodrillo Ciabatta Bread

Someone here referred me to this bread in my search for a thin crisp crust that won't send my jaw to the orthopedist.  People who comment rave about it!  Recipe does not say how to bake (stone, pan, cloche???)  How do you who have baked this bake it?  Thanks!  Jim Burgin

Hmmmm, I haven't made this particular recipe, but when I do make ciabatta I bake it on parchment directly on pre-heated stones.

All my ciabatta attempts (resulting in this crispy crusts) have been directly on a hot stone with a water pan and spray technique.  Spraying only for the first 2 minutes or so, then I let it bake normally. I also make sure the pan water evaporates well before the baking is complete.  So, I don't fill it too high.
