"Ciabatta" means slipper in Italian.  The name comes from    the short stuby slipper shape. Everyone that  tastes this bread loves it. This bread has a combination of rustic country texture and porous interior enclosed in a slightly crunchy exterior.
Special Note: I made this bread live on "The Bread Show" together with my daughter "Lisa". We had a great time baking the bread, managing the computer,  and the cameras.
