I would like a recipe for "Chiabatta" bread. I know they were on the list
before, but I failed to copy them.
Thank you,

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----FIRST STEP-----
12 oz Flour
1/4 ts Yeast, dry
7 fl -- Water, warm
Olive oil
-----SECOND STEP-----
1/2 pt -- Water, warm
1 tb Olive oil
5 tb Milk, warm
1 1/4 lb Flour
1 t Yeast, dry
1 tb Salt
Cornmeal to dust
Add yeast to sifted flour and slowly mix in the water.
Beat for five minutes. Place in a bowl and brush with
olive oil. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place
until tripled in size (5-24 hours). Now chill.
Stir the warm water, milk and olive oil into the
chilled mixture. Slowly add this mixture to the 1 1/4
lb of flour, adding the yeast and salt.
Using either a food processor or those at the end of
your wrists, form into a dough and then knead on a
floured surface until springy . Put dough in an oiled
bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.
Divide into four and stretch dough into rectangles,
pressing flat with your knuckles. Cover with a damp
cloth and leave in a warm place for 2 hours. Pre-heat
oven to 450 F. Heat baking sheets in oven. Dust
baking sheets with cornmeal and place dough on top.
Bake for 25 minutes, sprinkling with water three times
during the first 10 minutes.
