Handling Jason’s ciabatta
I have a tough time with the iron fist velvet hand part of this recipe.
Any suggestions on how to flip the dough over?
I might try putting on a floured pan to proof, then putting another pan on top when it’s time to flip. Then doing a quick flip by lightly squeezing it between the two pans.
No need to go to so much trouble. Velvet hand doesn't mean you have to treat it like a new born baby though :). Use 1 or 2 dough scrapers and gently lift the dough and flip it. If you use a lot of flour on your work surface or the pan you have the dough resting in, it will flip easily.
