Pain al'Ancienne

Tried the recipe from Peter Reinhart's Bread Bakers Apprentice. I thought I'd give it a try since P Reinhart is raving about it and after all, it did win the top prize in Paris for the baguette section. Phillipe Gosselin's Pain al'Ancienne innovation involved retardation in the refrigerator.

Everything was OK until the folding stage. The flavor was awesome but it was a disaster on the looks department. Made some Ciabatta and some mini Ciabattas.
