Is your ciabatta going stale in the space of hours, not days?Maybe you’ve recently developed a ciabatta-habit but can’t quite get the bread to keep at its best for long?In this recipe, I share my tried and tested methods for keeping ciabatta fresh for as long as possible (fluffy, crunchy ciabatta a few days after baking, anyone?).

The BEST Way To Keep & Reheat Ciabatta

portion ciabatta

water

For short-term storage (2-3 days), keep your ciabatta at room temperature.

Store the ciabatta wrapped in aluminum foil in a cool, dark place.

If you have a bread basket, you can put the ciabatta uncovered in there. For longer-term storage, you should freeze the ciabatta.

To freeze ciabatta bread, wait until at least five hours after baking, then wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and put it in a freezer bag.

Freeze for up to three months. If you want sliced ciabatta, slice the loaf before freezing. Slices will last for up to a month in the freezer.

Storing Ciabatta Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C.

Run the loaf’s crust under the tap, or simply sprinkle it with a decent amount of water. Avoid wetting any cut edges.

Cover any cut edges with aluminum foil.

Place the bread on a wire rack in the oven.

Heat the bread for 5-10 minutes, or until it’s soft and spongey.
