Ciabatta in a Wood Oven

[ASeasonedWitch]

Thanks for the detailed demo. I hope to have my own oven some day soon.

[drferrr]

nice video. some tips.. use ice cubes or a cup of water to create steam. just throw it on the oven floor.'

and more steam during the first 2-3 mins of baking means more crust..

another great way of dealing with the soft dough is to pour it on flouerd cloth and then manipulating the cloth to change its shape

Oh my frickin GOD what is that horrible beeping throughout the whole video? Are they filming this on a construction site?

[sibkiss2009]

got potholders?

[csabo1725]

Nice watch, Submariner?? The band looks too wide though and with polished center links. Never saw a SM band like that. Please do tell.

[SICKLongboarding]

Thanks for information. i also have an pizza oven. i also tried to make some bread. really nice looking!!

[chefreki79]

non pulite mai il forno come fa sto incompetente si rompe il piano va pulito con spazzola e soffiatore...e basta...che gente che gira e millanta di insegnare

[ShellieGonzalez]

That looks so good! I have an Irish Wood Cookstove, I love it and it gets hot; my bread takes only a few minutes to bake and it comes out good and I can bake many breads in no time at all. People love it. I think a cured baking stone would take away the blackened bottom for you.

Nicely done Sir! Appreciate you sharing this and the hardwork... More Power and GOD Bless!

[Jgame95]

You worked so herd

[dubsaloon]

A garden sprayer would work well for the dampness and has a metal wand.

[sexoja23]

nice bread

[SidneyBou]

Looked good I wish you had tasted ie as well thanks.

[tlj8045]

use ice to add steam

[TheVittleVlog]

Thats gotta be Gooooood!!!!!

[Iemota21]

cool stuff I would eat it in a second. Thanks for the advice I need to get a lazer thermometer I have been trying to do it without one.

[ObiWanShinobi1]

No brick ovven yet, but I love wood oven pizza, I can see a pile of winter meals done in one of these though.

[HereisyourMother]

Thank you for sharing. I see that you love your new oven too:-)

At 9:57 I yelled "OH CUT THE BREAD ALREADY!".  Nice video. I wish I had a wood-fired oven.

[chriswcross]

hey you said meow at 29 sec lol

[wizkidone]

hey nice vid i have seen people use a damp cotton mop instead of a damp rag to get rid of the ash

[thesandalsband]

have you considered throwing in a few ice cube for steam?

[michael59580]

goodddddddddddddddd

[mygoatisdead]

All that for two loaves of bread?

[serpensphile]

Hey! Great video. I'm going to build an outdoor oven very soon! One tip....just dip your dough knife in water and the dough won't stick to it! Great job!!!!!

[980gcat]

best way to check the floor temp is to put a little bit of flour on the floor if it goes brown in 20 seconds it is just fine if it goes black and burns its too hot.

[dustywar]

nice oven!!.. looks tasty

[iheartmon]

Thats amazing definately wouldnt mind the recipe :)

[agentj3000]

My wife just dumps a cup or two of water in the oven and closes the oven.... a lot more efficient, you can use a metal pan if you are afraid of cracking your tile.

[timzes]

i like your ethusiasm, im starting on my first ciabatta.

[Mariogrt]

good job fornobravo ;-D

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

Don't be too hard on yourself about the crumb structure. Ciabatta crumb is the one thing, as a professional baker, that gives me hives. It's always hit or miss. I'm convinced it's magic!

[tamerlano]

I have the same feeling about baguette crumb structure. Ciabatta I find a breeze in comparison.

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

You can buy a pump garden sprayer to spray water into the oven. That's what I use. I got tired of burning my eyebrows off with the hand pump. Now I just add water to the garden pump, pump it (pressurize it) and away I go. The garden pump has a long nozzle with handle, so it's much safer too!

[JStephs1950]

Check the bottom of the bread after 20 -25 minutes. If it looks like it's starting to brown too quickly, transfer it to an insulated cookie sheet and put it back in the oven.

[nik36619]

in my inside oven, I steam with ice cubes! i place my bread, then throw 1,2 or 3 cubes in the bottom of the oven. works like a champ

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

Ice cubes reduce the temperature of the oven (sometimes a lot) and take too long to go from ice to water to steam. By the time you get steam, it's almost too late. A better idea is to use hot water in a pressurized (hand-pumped) garden sprayer.

[Subarujoe]

hey can i please have a recipe for this bread dough?

[fornobravo]

It's true that wood-fired cooking takes a little more effort, but you can't beat the results!

[MaZEEZaM]

the bread looks pretty good, although holes in bread are not so good for toast lol, nice video though. looks problematic cooking bread in this type of oven compared to perhaps using cooking stone in normal ovens:D

[fornobravo]

This is the Hamelman recipe for Ciabatta with poolish (an overnight preferment). It's a great recipe and loaf of bread and pretty easy.

There is a thread on our user group on this recipe. You can find it on the Forno Bravo Forum.

Well I posted last before seeing the end and I must say thats amazing... well done on that bread....I hope I can do the same once my oven is built.

[menglandau]

Do you have a recipe for this bread dough?
