      Pugliese means ‘slipper’ in Italian and refers to the loaves being rather long and shapeless.

      It was invented as an alternative/competitor to baguettes. Uses a wetter dough and minimal shaping to attain large open crumb like you have here.

        That certainly matched the description. The people I have had taste it say the baguettes they had in the past tasted the same. The video with the recipe I used marketed it as a low technical skill tasty baguette. Also I thought ciabatta was “slipper”.
