Ciabatta is a traditional Italian bread recognized for its rustic, airy texture and crisp crust. Made with simple ingredients like wheat flour, water, salt, yeast, and sometimes olive oil, its dough undergoes a high-hydration process that creates signature porous holes ideal for sandwiches or dipping into soups. Originating in Northern Italy in the 1980s, ciabatta quickly gained global popularity for its chewy bite and versatility. While it is rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, ciabatta is low in fiber due to its refined flour composition. It’s generally low-fat but can vary depending on added oils during preparation. Moderation is key, as it offers little nutritional density compared to whole-grain bread options. Pairing ciabatta with lean proteins and nutrient-rich toppings can help balance this indulgent staple in a well-rounded diet.
