Ciabatta bread history

The origins of ciabatta can be traced back to the northern Italian region of Veneto. In the 1980s, a group of bakers in the city of Adria sought to create a bread that would rival the popularity of French baguettes. Their experimentation led to the development of ciabatta, which quickly gained widespread acclaim for its unique texture and flavor. This rustic bread, characterized by its elongated, broad, and flat shape, is made with a high-hydration dough and has become a beloved staple in Italian cuisine.
