I love this bread and it is very tasty and it take me (like yours) almost a day to rise, to shape, to bake.

No, I made this Ciabatta before you arrived - I just didn't have the time to write the post about it. Daniel: Thanks for your comments! I will have to try my next Ciabatta with biga. Will post results in the BBA group. Tiffany: Because you were always on my head - hahahaha. No, I made this Ciabatta before you arrived - I just didn’t have the time to write the post about it.

The Biga version with maximum water gave me big holes, and, curiously, a less salty dough. Otherwise, your pictures look fantastic, love the step-by-steps inside the photos.

Looks like many BBA members had more holey luck with biga than with poolish. Sam! Thanks a lot for your comment! Wish distance wouldn't be such an issue. Would love to get some for ya! Bread is made to be shared with others! cheers! GAbi. Thanks, for the tip, Frieda! Looks like many BBA members had more holey luck with biga than with poolish.

I made ciabatta twice, once with the poolish and the next with the biga. I found more success in gaining a 'holey' bread with the biga and putting in the maximum water. It is a very, very, sticky dough, but well worth the effort! Excellent step~by~step post! I made ciabatta twice, once with the poolish and the next with the biga.
