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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.
