ciabata Taste was wonderful but texture more like crumpet than ciabata. Will try some of the recipes posted here and see how we get on.

Protea77 asked in another thread for pull-apart type bread recipes. I'm including the info. here also - for share and tear type bread, make your preferred recipe, then shape the dough to make the shape's you want. ie. small balls (remember they'll double in size during proving), Place the balls close together, so they're touching, on a baking paper lined oven tray - in whatever shape you want - oval, circle, long strip etc. Cover and leave to rise as per the recipe. and once doubled in size, bake as per the recipe. This works well - you can also brush the tops with milk and sprinkle over some grated cheese, herbs, seeds, olive slices etc.

And this is what I call Celebration Bread. I've made these many times over the years. shape pieces of dough as above. Place them on a baking paper lined tray, in the shape you want for the celebration the bread will be used for. ie. you can use the initial's of a person whose birthday party the bread is for. The initial's of two people getting married. The initial's of a baby - for a party to celebrate his/her birth. etc.etc. I made one recently - the daughter of one of my closest friend's got married in England. We had a little "Wedding Party" here in NZ -On top of the baking paper on the tray, I made a large 'C' for his first name - and set inside that, and against the curve of the C, I placed another C shape, with a short piece coming downward for a 'G'- so the bread showed as her initial inside his initial. At dinner, we all pulled rolls off the shape - part of the sharing of the occasion.
juliewn, Dec 10, 11:32am
For my Son's 21st, I made a large '2' on one baking tray, and a '1'on another tray. and baked one tray at a time, and I had the '21' on a large cloth covered piece of board, as part of dinner for his party. The cloth was made many years ago by his Nanna - so was a way of bringing something special from her into the occasion.and shared by all of us there.

Hi Juliewn I made you bread recipe the other day and so easy.The only problem was I took my eye of it for a second and the rolls burnt on the outside and the bread just on the top but the middle was really good.Will try again and keep my eye on the over - do you use fan bake or a normal bake!I found hubby in the kitchen yesterday cutting the burnt bread rolls in half - asked what he was doing and he said he was making it easier for the birds so they dont break their beaks.and proceeded to throw them out for the birds. hhmmmmmm - lucky I have a good sense of humour.
