  1. Thanks for this recipe Chef John. We have been watching your videos and enjoying. Just had a go at making and it turned out perfectly. So easy!!

  2. This IS in fact AMAZING!

    I’m doing really great thanks to this recipe the 5 Star Czar Chef John has thoughtfully shared. How can something so simple be so 5 Star? Well, watch the rest of his videos and get your answers. Thank me later.

  3. Beautiful !! Easy – peasy , no streching no folding !! Looks and
    Tastes fantastic . Thank You !!👌

  4. Hi Chef John! I’m so happy to have tried this recipe. I followed all the steps but noticed that when baking it did not rise as much as your final product on this video. Any advice on the cause and what I have to do? It still was delicious, but just want to give it that little extra 😉

  5. Can you let it proof over the 18hrs if not able to continue at that time?

  6. I made my first loaf of yeast bread since 1972. It was whole wheat, and, because I made it in a preheated Dutch oven at 475 degrees, and it was the first time using the oven (new apt), the smoke alarm went off…at 5am, three times. I finally turned in the fan and opened the window.
    Anyway, my friend, who asked me to bring the bread over, then tells me whole wheat bread is too heavy for him to eat.
    Ok, now that I’ve got the bugs out of the system, I’ll make this gorgeous ciabatta bread.

  7. Anyone try to have dough rise faster in an instant pot? I'd love to know how to shorten the time. Please tag me if you know how to or have done that with the details. TIA

  8. I just made the dough and set it aside for tomorrow. This is my 2nd loaf of this and it is awesome. Thank you Chef John!

  9. In the middle of making this, waiting the 18 hours is the hardest part so far! Really looking forward to eating it…..

  10. Want to just make a sponge and let that sponge rise for half an hour then mix in the rest of your ingredients and let it rest for like 6 hours? Pour gently out of the bowl directly into the pan and form. Same thing less time. But I dig your measurements.

  11. tried it three times so far and I can't flip it without some sort of disaster. Always the moments between proofing and baking that are most difficult to me

  12. When my sister goes to visit friends she likes me to bring along a Chef John recipe hostess gift T y Chef. This loaf seems very versatile so I'm going to start practicing.

  13. Love 💕 this recipe and Chef John- made this several years ago first time. Problem is- it’s so easy and soooo good- hard not to eat too much when it’s right out of the oven with nothing else but REAL butter (preferably Irish)!! As always- Enjoy! And Chef John- you always sound sexy- cold or not!😉Want to add – this loaf I’m making now is still rising, but I made it with 100% semolina flour from Italy and I want to see if it will make a difference. I have a friend who has to be totally gluten-free and this is the only flour she can eat because flour in the USA is GMO and has too much gluten but she can eat this flour. I’ll let you know how it turns out in a couple of hours.!😊

  14. Something really funny…. my dough looked like yours, but I thought it was supposed to be thicker to cut🫣. Now I see, it was ready to be baked😂. My 2nd time trying to make dough. I froze two parts, until I can find a remedy for the loose dough😵‍💫. Now what…🤭

  15. Trying it since yesterday, about to bake it. I substituted All Purpose Flour with Gluten-Free (3 cups) & Almond (1 cup) Flour for a New Recipe on MyKookinChannel… 🤞🏾

    Fantastic 💃🏾 Crispy outside, soft inside. Taste good. Needed a little more salt. I ate a piece with butter. Hubby likes it, too. This was Gluten-Free. I'll try regular now. Thanks🏆👍🏾

  16. Love this recipe as well as all of your other ones Chef John……however……a 65 degree room temp in Oklahoma…..in July? 🙂

  17. This is the best video and recipe. The butter on bread blew my mind. Never heard of that before 🤯

  18. I noticed you didnt add any flour to the dough but left it sticky. I did work a little flour into it and it backfired. Any additional flour to make the dough more workable results in a harder, thicker crust.
