Sour Ciabatta III
Today is bread baking day, after a few folds of course, in which we'll get to enjoy the sourdough taste on our ciabatta. The starter we added to yesterday is what we'll start tweaking. Mine looks like this:
We're only going to add some 100g of einkorn flour to it:
And, of course, some 8g of salt:
Add that to the starter:
And mix to get a super sticky dough:
Cover the container, and let it rise for four hours:

Preheat the oven, with a baking steel, to 500 degrees:
Cover the dough with flour:
Then flip it on the floured workbench:
You'll need to use a lot of flour to fold it into a log shape:
Then cut it in half:
Shape each half into a slipper and place it on parchment paper:
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees:
Let the loaves proof for an hour while that preheats:
Then slide them onto the hot baking steel:
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 400 degrees for another 20 minutes:
Enjoy these sourdough ciabatta with some olive oil, garlic, and rosemary!
