ciabatta from the recipe in the handbook

Toast

I'm wondering if I should mist the sides of the oven before I bake ,or if there is another method I should use, or no  steam at all.

Ciabatta benefits from steam when you load your loaves into the oven. What's the best method of steaming depends - in part - on your oven (gas, electric).  If you do a search on "steaming" on TFL you'll find a lot of discussion and good ideas.
