      Thanks for watching ITAY, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend.
      Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these.
      Please post me a comment if you need any more help.
      1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
      2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate.
      3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
      4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here ua-cam.com/video/HWpSbYV96_c/v-deo.html
      I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, ua-cam.com/video/f0RjnQGrwzw/v-deo.html
      Please check out the rest of my channel and playlists for more great video recipes. ua-cam.com/users/jonboy2478
      I have plenty more quicker and no knead breads, cake, cheese, and other recipes on my channel, if you would like to take a look.

      @@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade You're right about the measuring jugs but you would think pyrex had their shit together on this. Out of curiosity I weighed 100ml of water - 90g Thankfully I've been very liberal when baking bread as Im using a mix containing whole meal so I've gone as high as 400ml (360g) / 500g of flour. It's a bit sloppy at first but I just let it sit until the flour has absorbed the moisture.
      The Ciabatta will be ready this afternoon, this will be the second time I've made them.

So I greatly appreciate ALL of your tips and tricks. I’ve always been afraid of making these breads for that reason but now, you’ve just given me the confidence and tool tricks to make them all.

I also got too busy to bake it yesterday so put it back in the fridge for an extra day, gave it 2 more 45 minute proofs (total of 5 45 minute proofing periods) and then baked them. This extra day did not affect the quality or taste of the bread, it is really fantastic! Thanks so much John for sharing your recipes with the world!

    @mikepazzree1340 5 років тому +11

    Dear Mr Kirkwood. Again thank you for the awesome lesson. I made my loaves the other day. I’m a pretty good baker and as such do not buy any breads from the store. I find baking your own breads highly therapeutic and enjoyable.
    Baking bread is science and being specific does not always give me perfection. Bread is a finicky thing due to variations in my oven ( some days it maxes out at 350 , and sometimes 450 , it’s a La Germania and the best money can buy in the Philippines, I’m American retired here )
    For this Ciabatta I wanted a hybrid dough as I love sourdough. So for my poolish I added 100 G of my starter ( yes , using a scale ) and halved the rest of the poolish recipe. It was not as huge a rise the next day as my previous Ciabatta rolls.
    But then I followed your excellent video and used my Kitchen Aid to combine and knead the dough.
    There was good oven spring , at most losing no more than 10% of rise as compared to your previous recipe. But the bread is marvelous. Crispy on the outside , full of holes and a slightly chewy , sour taste.
    I toast it and add butter and cream cheese every day for my breakfast It of course makes super yummy sandwiches using a Cuisinart 5 in 1 griddled for paninis.
    My gf is not gifted in the kitchen like I am , but we cook together. It’s great bonding time. She wants to thank you as well , as you and your wife are truly blessed in teaching others , complex techniques full of tips that are probably from mistakes one inevitably makes in the Kitchen.
    Again we both thank you and your wife for enriching our lives , loaves and tummies.

    I just made my first ciabatta bread using this recipe and I can't thank you enough for making it less scary of a hurdle to jump over. Artisan breads just seem so intimidating but I was confident trying this recipe and it turned out so well. My mom told me how she tried making ciabatta before (a different recipe) and it turned out hard, almost like a rock, but thankfully that didn't happen to me. The crust was crispy and the inside was soft and a little chewy. It was also still perfect even after keeping it on the table overnight. Thank you so much for this!

      Nice job my friend.
      Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you my friend.
      Please checkout the channels new recipe Book, available now in the website shop here profoodhomemade.com/shop
      Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these.
      Please post me a comment if you need any more help.
      1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
      2. Use digital SCALES for all of the measurements including weighing the WATER, IN GRAMS, NOT FLUID OUNCES, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate. try to use bottled water if possible. Tap water contains chlorine, and in certain areas it is higher than others, which will weaken or even kill the yeast.
      3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
      4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here ua-cam.com/video/HWpSbYV96_c/v-deo.html
      I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, ua-cam.com/video/f0RjnQGrwzw/v-deo.html

    Excellent recipe!!! Just amazing results from the first shoot. I'm currently living in Dubai, and it is not so easy to find Ciabatta or good french baguettes, so I gave up and decided to do it myself, and must say that I have mastered thanks to John Kirkwood video.
    I also appreciate to get the ingredients in exact quantities measured in grams, which is much more precise than using cups or spoons.
    By the way, I did the sponge last night, and when I came in the morning, found it in exactly the same conditions, no bubbles at all. So I almost through it away... but then I decided to continue ...thanks God, all was perfect!

    Time to make this bread yet again. I finally got strong bread flour - making this with all-purpose flour was a challenge! I had to double the water, and the loaves struggled to keep their shape. With the right ingredients, it's back to the reliable, delicious recipe I've enjoyed making for many years now.

    Dear John, After having lived in France and Italy for close on half a century (now in China), I fully appreciate your artisanal approach to these European breads. Particularly when you just squeezed the Ciabatta coming out of the oven. The French would say the "Le pain chante". This is particularly so for a REAL baguette made by a real traditional French Boulanger. Thank you for reminding us of how long we need to wait at each different step in order to allow the chemistry to do it's business. In this inpatient, imprecise world everyone wants it all right away and we loose the taste of authenticity. Thank you for showing us the true definition of excellence. In France we would call you a Master ( Maitre ).

    There's one thing that you, John, did that most, if not all You Tube bakers don't do and that is show the actual speed settings on the stand mixer. I appreciate this very much. When you said to let the mixer run at the highest speed for 6 minutes, I knew you didn't mean the highest speed on the machine, but rather the highest speed you SHOWED us. This is very important if you're not very experienced or haven't used a stand mixer to knead bread. A lot of professionals (in any field) do things so automatically, they forget (or don't realize) many people aren't familiar with the process they're teaching. Thank you, kind sir, for your very clear instructions!to you and your family!

    I found this recipe to be the best one of all that I've tried. The first time I tried this recipe I used Caputo 00 flour, which had 14 percent protein, but it's finess caused it to not hold up in volume. So I did it again with all purpose flour, since we're on covid restrictions, the grocery store was out of bread flour. But this round of ciabatte still came out perfect! Thank you for your kind, easy, patient instruction. It makes us all willing to try with confidence. Keep up the good work. Oh, the reason I used Caputo 00 is because I built a brick oven years ago and make artisan pizza VPN style. I should do a video on that! LOL!

Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
      4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWpSb...

    Clear, concise, easy-to-understand and follow description and instructions with no "beauty shots" of the camera slowly panning around the end product for artistic effect. Perfectly simple, and simply perfect. And the voice-over is superbly done. I love this video!

      1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
      2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate.

    I made this gorgeous ciabatta bread today. It is amazing -- thank you! I followed your instructions faithfully until I got to the loaf forming portion which I found unnecessarily complex and involving unneeded handling. I was able to cut the dough, form the loaves, allow the final 20 minute rise and bake the bread all on the same pan. I did not use a couche, plastic paddles or parchment paper and I did not have to transfer or flip the doughy loaves. My loaves were a bit rustic and not perfectly formed but that was not my aim either. Nor did it affect the taste or structure of the bread. I apologize for being a bit critical because I am extremely pleased at the gorgeous ciabatta you guided me through.

      Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these.
      Please post me a comment if you need any more help.
      1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
      2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate.
      3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
      4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here ua-cam.com/video/HWpSbYV96_c/v-deo.html
      I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, ua-cam.com/video/f0RjnQGrwzw/v-deo.html

    There are many other channels showing the same recipes but what I like about yours is your simple style and the fact that you show the exact timing, temperature and weight of each and every ingredient and never use cups for measurement. When following your recipes, I confidently pour in all the water at once without the fear of over-hydrating the mix, and I get perfectly consistent results every time.

      You’re the best John! I’m studying everything you just sent me. I think my first problem is strong white flour. I didn’t know anything about protein before you. I just bought whatever bread flour I could. I’ll start doing more research. I know you like to mill your own whole wheat flour. I’m not quite there yet, lol. But you better believe I’m going to try one of your recipes. Stay tuned!

      Just a little extra info to help you along with these ciabatta loaves. Please follow these 4 simple rules when making these.
      Please post me a comment if you need any more help.
      1. Stick to the recipe rigidly, the quantities and ingredients are very important and carefully worked out for successful results.
      2. Use digital SCALES for the measurements including the water, don't convert to cups or measuring jugs, they are too inaccurate.
      3. Use proper bread flour with at least 12% protein, check the ingredients list on the side of the flour bag for the protein level, protein may show in grams per serving but just work it out, it needs to be 12g of protein per 100g of flour. Plain or all purpose flour has a lower protein count and is great for pastries, cakes, and biscuits, but is NOT strong enough for making bread.
      4. Very important...Check your yeast is working, BEFORE you start, you can do a yeast test as shown in my sandwich bread video here ua-cam.com/video/HWpSbYV96_c/v-deo.html
      I have recently uploaded a clearer and quicker version of my baguette recipe if you want to have a look, here's a link, ua-cam.com/video/f0RjnQGrwzw/v-deo.html

    OK, just took them out. The smell is fabulous.
    Against my initial plan i did do them 22 minutes because the temperature in the oven had dropped a bit after putting them in, but in hindsight that might not have been necessary.
    Cut open the structure looks great. too hot to taste yet.
    Shaping was a bit tricky, so they look like different size slippers, but I guess that is just a matter of practise
    Next time I will do then 18 min no matter whether the temp dropped a bit
    I'd guess great success with an 11% flour
    oh that smell... I wouldnt be surprised if I finish them both tonight

      @@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade As a matter of fact, I just got home from the grocery store. I picked up King Arthur Unbleached White Flour, it's 12.7% protein. It's the best our store carries. I've always loved KA flour.
      I have always used a scale when making bread. I find it more accurate. I've been baking bread for 49 of my 67 years. My Mother taught me how when I was just a teen. I started my granddaughter off baking bread before she could see over the kitchen counter.
      The pointers that I took away from your video are to use my Mom's stainless steel bowl instead of my glass bowl, water my hands instead of using an oiled spatula to turn the dough, use a shower cap instead of plastic wrap when rising, use my well floured baking cloth for rising the loaves instead of parchment paper, never touch the top once it's shaped into the loaves and most importantly, flour well!! I do have a wooden pizza peel that I lay my parchment paper on for slipping the loaves easily into the oven. And I do have a pizza stone.
      Again, thank you very much. I'm looking forward to making my next loaves your way.
      Have a great day,
      Charlene
