La Rose Noire frozen par-baked ciabatta is an Italian bread that has been partially baked and then frozen to maintain its freshness and quality until it is ready to be fully baked at home. Ciabatta is known for its rustic appearance, airy interior, and crisp crust. Here’s a detailed description:

Appearance:

• Shape: Has a distinctive oval shape with a flat, elongated profile.
• Crust: The crust is lightly browned and firm. After the final baking, it will become deeply golden and crispy.
• Surface: The surface is often dusted with flour, giving it a rustic, artisanal look.

Texture:

• Exterior: Once fully baked, the crust will be crisp and crunchy.
• Interior: The crumb (interior) of ciabatta is characterized by large, irregular holes, giving it a light and airy texture. It is slightly chewy and moist.

Flavor:

• Taste: It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor with a hint of nuttiness, often enhanced by the olive oil in the dough.
• Aroma: When fully baked, ciabatta emits a rich, wheaty aroma with subtle hints of yeast and olive oil.

Ingredients:

• La Rose Noire ciabatta is made with simple, high-quality ingredients: flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes olive oil.

Storage:

• The bread is stored in the freezer to maintain its freshness and should remain frozen until ready to use.

Baking Instructions:

1. Thawing: If the ciabatta is frozen solid, allow it to thaw at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. 
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Prepare the Bread: Remove the thawed or frozen ciabatta from its packaging.
4. Bake: Place the par-baked ciabatta on a baking sheet or directly on the oven rack. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the bread is heated through.
5. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve warm with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or a spread of butter.
• Use it as a base for sandwiches, panini, or bruschetta.
• Pair it with soups, salads, or pasta dishes.
• Toast it and top with garlic and herbs for a delicious garlic bread.
