Ciabatta in a bread maker
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. This ciabatta recipe turns out crispy with a porous crumb. The long kneading process in a bread machine is what creates the airy texture and makes the process effortless. Finished ciabatta should produce a dull sound when tapped. You can serve it for breakfast as sandwich bread, instead of regular bread for lunch and dinner, or with tea and coffee.
