This looks really good! One of my favorites is a ciabatta recipe I found on lifehack.org: It looks like yours is fluffier, though, so I'll probably try the NYT recipe you posted this weekend.
Combine water and yeast, then mix in salt and flour, let it rise for 8-12 hours then bake at 400F for 25 minutes. Delicious and dead simple. 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon yeast
This looks very similar to what I make. Keep the salt and yeast, but to do what I did here reduce flour to 3 cups and water to 1 5/8 cup. However I have switching things up to where I'll use half unbleached white and half whole wheat. I haven't gotten the water proportion down, but it's somewhere around 1 1/4. Another cool thing about the NYT recipe is that the bread bakes for 30 minutes with a lid on, then for another 20 with no lid. It allows for the fluff in the first stage, and then a really nice crust develops in the second.
