Discover the authentic taste of Italy with Gonnella Ciabatta Rolls, traditional Italian bread rolls that bring artisanal bakery quality to your table. These rustic rolls feature the characteristic open, airy crumb structure and golden-brown crust that make ciabatta one of Italy's most beloved bread varieties.
Ciabatta, meaning "slipper" in Italian due to its distinctive flat, elongated shape, originated in the Veneto region and has become a cornerstone of Italian cuisine. Gonnella's version captures the essence of this classic bread with its crispy exterior that gives way to a soft, chewy interior filled with irregular holes. The rolls have a mild, slightly tangy flavor with subtle yeasty notes that complement both simple and complex ingredients. Each roll provides the perfect balance of texture contrasts that ciabatta is famous for.
These versatile rolls excel in numerous culinary applications, from creating gourmet sandwiches and paninis to serving alongside soups, salads, and pasta dishes. Try splitting them for bruschetta topped with fresh tomatoes and basil, or use them to make hearty Italian subs filled with cured meats, cheese, and roasted vegetables. For best results, warm the rolls in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispy crust. They also freeze well for longer storage. Whether you're preparing a casual lunch or an elegant dinner, Gonnella Ciabatta Rolls add authentic Italian flair to any meal.
