Don’t be afraid of making your own bread at home—it may seem daunting, but all you need is a bit of time, quality ingredients, and a superb recipe like this one.  Ciabatta is an Italian white bread that is super tasty on its own, but a great side for a hearty bowl of soup, or great sliced for a panino, or Italian sandwich. This recipe is made special from its mix-ins: carmelized onions, tomato paste, quartered cherry tomatoes, and briny Kalamata olives. Sounds hard to resist, right?  Well, don’t just take it from me, make this bread and find out for yourselves.
