“Super bread. Can't stop eating it. Great texture and flavour.

Perhaps I should have made 2 Ciabatta instead of one large one.
Still I've cut it in half and frozen some.
Thanks,"
This looks very appealing when baked especially if you added an egg glaze to the top prior to baking for that home cooked look.
