We're so sorry to hear that you didn't get good results when baking this recipe, Angela! Ciabatta, like most yeast breads, does call for two rises in order to develop both the structure and the flavor correctly. While we're not able to diagnose exactly what went awry with your bread without more information about your ingredients and process, we'd be happy to chat with you via our Baker's Hotline to help you troubleshoot in more detail.
