I don't mean to be pedantic -- though I know I am. But to save you grief down the road...

When referring to jus in that way, you wouldn't use the "au."

"Au jus" is a French term meaning "with juice."

As you wouldn't say "I love with juice..."

Honest. I correct you with the least amount of dickishness possible!

Make your dough. Heat up the over to 500F, with a dutch oven in it. Take the hot dutch oven out. Put the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Lower the pizza with the parchment into the dutch oven. Cover the Dutch oven. place in oven for 11 minutes. It will come out close to a brick oven. (parchment paper might smoke a bit. You can omit parchment if dutch oven is season well.)

That looks amazing! Question for you though... Why Ciabatta? I've never had a Ciabatta that tastes better than a French roll. Even according to Wiki, it was invented by an Italian baker in the 80s, because they didn't like that French Baguettes were popular for Italian sandwiches. I avoid it at restaurants, because it always tastes dry and bland to me. Is it different when it's freshly baked?
