Newbe Bread Baker;
The Ciabatta garlic bread recipe states the water for the starter should be "cool" and the water for the dough should be "lukewarm".
Could you be a little more exact then cool/lukewarm or does it not really matter?
Thanks

Dave, lukewarm is about 105°F. Cool is about 70°F-75°. But ultimately, the rise time will adjust itself no matter the (non-extreme) temp. of the water... PJH
