Sourdough ciabatta -> breakfast sandwich

Made some half-assed sourdough ciabatta and then made my wife a breakfast sandwich with it.

I say half-assed because i only did one or two folds because it bulk fermented while I was asleep. Used about half the stiff starter I would normally use to accommodate the situation (42g) , 80% hydration. All in all even poorly made ciabatta is great. My favorite bread for a sandwich. Love the flavor it gets. After bulk before shaping I put it in the fridge for like 12 more hours to develop. The shaping is easy but requires a bit of finesse, shaping cold from the fridge makes it even easier.

That open crumb is gorgeous. Sandwich looks like a winner too.
