Making Ciabatta & Garlic Bread | Bread Around the World | Ep 2

In the second episode of our "Bread Around The World" series, we are making an amazing Italian bread called Ciabatta. It was invented to compete with the growing popularity of the French Baguette and is relatively new to the world, having been created only in 1982. This delicious bread is filled with tiny holes and is great for sandwiches. And we can also use Ciabatta to make some incredible garlic bread and cheesy garlic bread, which is our bonus recipe today! Ciabatta is definitely something to make for your next Italian-themed dinner or simply because you want some yummy garlic bread! We hope you enjoy!
