Rye Ciabatta

"From "Baking Sourdough Bread" by Goran Soderin and Georgel Stachal. This is a very interesting new book that explains the sourdough process very well. I have not yet made this bread, but hope to, as I just love rye. Prep time does not include the rising time. The dough requires two days to make! These have to be rather small loaves, given the amount of flour."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
