BBA ciabatta question
I just baked several loaves of ciabatta using the BBA's poolish version and found I had to use nearly twice as much water as the recipe called for (the day was very hot, but also humid). Anyone else have this experiece? I also baked three loaves using the BBA's biga version and found the percentages in keeping with the recipe.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
