Italian Ciabatta is Airy, Crunchy, and Simple to Make

Recipe: https://bakewith.us/CiabattaYT

Do you love bread with an open, airy crumb that gives you a huge crunch on the outside and a tender fluffiness on the inside? Look no further than Rustic Italian Ciabatta. Using King Arthur's Bread Flour (link below), Martin starts off by making a biga, a type of preferment used in many popular Italian breads. Once water is added and it's agitated (kind of like kneading), the dough is folded, proofed, and divided. Pop them onto a sheet tray with our beloved parchment paper, and they're ready to bake and enjoy! Savor that first slice of the knife as you reveal the gorgeous crumb structure inside.
