Ciabatta Bread

Cultural Context

Ciabatta bread originated in Italy in the 1980s as a response to the popularity of French baguettes. Its name means 'slipper' in Italian, referring to its shape. This rustic bread is known for its crispy crust and airy, open crumb, making it perfect for sandwiches or as a side to meals. Today, ciabatta is enjoyed globally, with various adaptations appearing in bakeries around the world.
