'''Ciabatta''' (literally, carpet slipper because of its shape) is an Italian white bread made with [[wheat flour]] and [[yeast]]. The loaf is somewhat elongated, broad and flattish and, like a slipper, should be somewhat collapsed in the middle. Since the late 1990s it has been popular across Europe and in the United States, and is widely used as a sandwich bread. | '''Ciabatta''' (literally, carpet slipper because of its shape) is an Italian white bread made with [[wheat flour]] and [[yeast]].

There are many variations of ciabatta. When made with [[whole wheat flour]], it is known as ciabatta integrale. In Rome, it is often seasoned with [[olive oil]], [[salt]], and [[marjoram]]. When [[milk]] is added to the [[dough]], it becomes ciabatta al latte. | There are many variations of ciabatta. When made with [[whole wheat flour]], it is known as ciabatta integrale.
