Ciabatta is a long, Italian bread that is airy and light, with a naturally savory flavor and fantastically chewy crust. It can be flavored or plain, so once you nail the basics don't be afraid to experiment with some of your favorite ingredients. You'll need plenty of counter space for this, as the loaves will need to rise at room temperature, but don't let this put you off. The hard work will be well worth it when you have a hot, inviting loaf waiting to be devoured.
