The oven spring is nothing short of athletic!
Working on ciabatta bread today (gotta love enforced vacation days from work, eh?!?!?) and I am amazed at how wet, messy and just pure fun a 90% hydration dough is. First off, I tossed it into my KA on '10' and watched the thing almost walk itself off the counter top. Good thing I was watching it, man that woulda been NASTY. Dogs woulda loved it though. Maybe next time, mutts.
Anyway it's in the oven now and the oven spring makes Shawn Johnson look like a newby gymnast. I'm serious! Photos to come... Here's to hoping the crumb is as good!
