Sourdough Ciabatta (Formula created by Txfarmer)

This is my first attempt at ciabatta. Handling a wet dough like this is pretty disastrous when I wrongly deviate from the instruction. As I thought if I would eventually move the dough on to parchment paper, I dumped the  dough onto parchment paper right after bulk fermentation. This turns out to be a disaster, it stuck to the paper, I couldnt shape it nor moved it. Next time Im gonna oil the paper or shape it on bench. 

Even though it is far from perfect, but it still taste really good. Very moist n light with crispy crust. I would definitely return to this next week.
