Bread City Ciabatta Roll

Experience the authentic taste of Italy with Bread City's artisanal ciabatta roll, a rustic bread that brings Old World baking traditions straight to your table. This classic Italian bread features the signature characteristics that make ciabatta so beloved: a golden, crispy crust that gives way to an airy, hole-filled interior with a distinctly chewy texture. The name "ciabatta," meaning slipper in Italian, perfectly describes this bread's flat, elongated shape that has made it a staple in Italian cuisine since the 1980s. Ciabatta rolls are incredibly versatile and serve as the foundation for countless culinary creations. Their sturdy crust and open crumb structure make them ideal for paninis, where they hold up beautifully to grilling while absorbing flavors from meats, cheeses, and vegetables. These rolls also excel as sandwich bread, particularly for Italian-inspired combinations like prosciutto and mozzarella, or classic caprese with fresh tomatoes and basil. The bread's porous interior makes it perfect for soaking up olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or robust pasta sauces. For best results, warm ciabatta rolls in a 350-degree oven for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy exterior. They pair wonderfully with soups, especially minestrone or tomato bisque, and make excellent bruschetta when sliced and toasted. Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Whether you're creating a gourmet sandwich, serving alongside Italian dishes, or simply enjoying with butter and herbs, these ciabatta rolls deliver authentic Mediterranean flavor and texture.
