Thanks for posting this
I had been thinking about making this bread, but I was a little apprehensive due to the very very very high hydration of this dough. I like to work with slightly wetter doughs than usual, but this wet seemed intimidating.
Seeing your gorgeous results, I will push this up my "to try" list.

Coccodrillo
It is quite an adventure to make. The overnight in the fridge is really something I have only done twice. It makes the dough much easier to handle, but does nothing to inhibit crust, crumb or oven spring.
I have made it for years and come up with all sorts of tricks to keep it from darn near flowing off the table during it's rise. That's fun, but this is pretty cool, too.

recipe?
granniero Where can this recipe be found? Beautiful bread and i have been wanting to try a ciabatta. Thanks.
I have the recipe in Carol
I have the recipe in Carol Field's book, The Italian Baker, but someone has included it on a website. I know nothing about the pages, except that the recipe is as it is in the book.

I have made it as described, or changed it to a sourdough base. I use a 100% hydration starter and take 1 cup of starter and subtract the amount of flour and water from the first starter.
(by the way, that web link has music)
