Using nothing but white flour. salt, filtered watwer, and yeast; my no-knead Ciabatta bread is considered to be excellent by all my family and friends.

However, the Ciabatta is not white, it seems almost like Rye bread in color.

After a day or so, we toast it, and it becomes something other than a soft bread.

Very edible, but with a distinctive crunchy texture that we still enjoy.

Have you seen white bread look gray/grey?
