    ciabatta bread is the best! I love it with roasted red pepper, eggplant and provolone cheese!

    What is better than the smell of freshly baked bread? This looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    I've always made my family bread, but never tried this. This looks too good to resist! You make it sound so easy. Mine probably won't look as good as your loaves but ...
    Thanks for visiting my Olympic lens and leaving a comment. I'll be back to see more of yours. 5*s and fav. I'm looking forward to reading more.

    Steve i had a lens in the making on Ciabatta bread, but well this this says it all. Its a lot simpler to give you a five and favourite it and scrap mine. I have bookmarked your lens as well and will keep my eye for new lens.

    This lens brings back all the happy memories I had with my grandmother. We used to make Ciabatta breads when I was much younger. 5*

    5 stars, this is the business
  • Earthenshine Jan 30, 2010 @ 2:43 pm | delete
    Great for vegan sandwiches too! I used to get some tofu cottage cheese, slab some between seasoned ciabatta bread. Probably one of the best things I've ever had!
  • MikLint Jan 29, 2010 @ 7:13 am | delete
    Ciabatta bread is yummie!
  • Geeve Jan 29, 2010 @ 6:43 am | delete
    Scrumptious lens Steven, ciabatta goes well with a nice wine so I lensrolled you to my "Red versus White" lens.
    Also left a much deserved 5*, so you might get pushed into the magic 100. Great stuff.
  • RobertdeVos Jan 27, 2010 @ 2:03 am | delete

  • purplelady Jan 26, 2010 @ 3:11 pm | delete
    Congrats on LOTD! I love ciabatta bread and usually get mine at Panera; but perhaps I might be adventurous and try using your recipe for making my own. I can already smell it when it comes out of the oven. Num! Great lens -- it just kneads 5 loaves, 1 roll and 1 bird.
  • LoKackl Jan 26, 2010 @ 3:05 pm | delete
    Actually appears to be easy enough from a non-baker like me. Great lens Great looking bread! congratulations on LOTD! well deserved!

    I absolutely love ciabatta so a real big thanks for this :-)

    And congrats on being Lens of the Day (I'm new to Squidoo

    So you have inspired me in two ways...Great stuff
    Oh and the picture make it so scrummy I could almost smell it...
  • Desilegend Jan 26, 2010 @ 11:48 am | delete

    Bread is my weakness - home made bread is heavenly. Thank you for this reminder to get back on the bread - baking wagon. My baking stone is tired of only delivering pizza! Congrats on LOTD and for ruining my so-called diet. 8-P
  • Irenemaria Jan 26, 2010 @ 8:28 am | delete
    Oh so I wish your recipes had my measures. We use liter and gram here in Sweden
  • StevenCousley Jan 26, 2010 @ 3:47 pm | delete
    We use metric measurements here in Australia too. I've just made a note in the recipe that I use standard metric cup (250ml) and spoon (5 ml teaspoon) measurements. Thanks for bringing that up.
  • mitchking Jan 26, 2010 @ 8:19 am | delete
    There is nothing like a hot loaf of bread right from your own kitchen. It will make you wonder why you ever buy bread from the store.
  • sandyspider Jan 26, 2010 @ 8:17 am | delete
    Congratulations on your LOTD. This looks yummy!

    Congrats on LOTD and what a Delicious Recipe. I can't make bread to save my life but maybe there is hope with bread flour. Thanks for your easy-to-follow instructions and nice work on your lens. :)

    Fantastic lens!! What a great bread as well! One of our favorites!!
  • Ramkitten Jan 10, 2010 @ 10:00 am | delete
    Great lens! And the bread looks and sounds great too. I don't know if I've ever actually had ciabatta bread.
  • StevenCousley Jan 10, 2010 @ 10:11 am | delete
    You should try it, even if you don't make it yourself. It's one of those traditional Italian style crusty breads with lots of big holes to soak up any oils dressings etc. It's good stuff. :)

    Do come by and see the new and revamped Culinary Favorites from A to Z group! Your lens is still being featured under B is for Bread.

    That bread looks really, really good. I think I'll get off my computer and go get a snack.

    And the stickier the dough the more fun it is, as well as making even better bread. Throwing lots of flour around can be fun too. :)
  • KimGiancaterino Oct 27, 2008 @ 8:14 pm | delete
    I'm always buying ciabatta bread at our local Italian deli, so this recipe will be fun to try. Welcome to Culinary Favorites From A to Z.

    Hey Stephen! Welcome to the Bread Group! I hope you enjoy some of the other lenses here too, and I'm sure lots of people will enjoy yours. This is great!
