My husband gave this recipe 5 stars, agreeing that it is better the day after it's made. I did think that doubling the recipe was a bit too much sauce for my 4 pounds of meat, maybe would use one and a half times the amount of sauce due to the meat juices that cooked out in the slow cooker. Am preparing my second batch this month to take to a party tomorrow.

I have made this recipe several times and have not been disappointed. Delectable every time!

I don't know if it was the fact that I used SAF yeast instead of bread machine yeast or the fine sea salt I used or what but this loaf just did not work for me. Yes, the dough was runny, as expected, but it just did not rise at all. My result was two loaves of flat, rather dense bread, not the "holey" ciabatta I was hoping for. I'll keep trying though....
