80% hydration ciabattas
I thought these ciabattas would make a nice first entry for my brand new blog .
- 200 gr of a 100% hydration whole rye poolish (sourdough, of course)
- 500 gr bread flour (with a pretty high gluten content)
- 380 gr water
- 9 gr salt
3 hour bulk fermentation, retarded overnight in the fridge, 1 hour out of the fridge, shape (kind of) and 2 hour proof.
25 minutes in a very hot oven, 10 more with the oven turned off.



It's a great bread for the kind of sandwiches we like in Spain. I'm sure you have seen that chorizo in the background :-)
