Ciabatta sounds and tastes like the Ancient Romans discovered the recipe rolling dough in the hot sun, or maybe something Donatello munched on while sculpting his marble. (The Renaissance artist, not the Ninja Turtle. The Ninja Turtle eats pizza.) Ciabatta makes the perfect vessel for this meaty sandwich, the bread's texture and the bacon aioli coming together like a dream. Not everything needs to be “aged to perfection.”
