Ciabatta Bread

[Dib's]

Ciabatta Bread is slightly crispy on the outside with a deliciously tender and airy crumb. It makes outstanding panini bread, to-die-for garlic bread and is the best bread to serve warm* from the oven, no knife required. Just tear off hunks in a non-civilized manner for dipping. Like pesto dipping, or warm oil dipping, or tapanade dipping, or shrimp scampi dipping stuff, all garlickly and buttery.
