Background

This ciabatta stuffed with mozzarella and tomatoes can be prepared in advance for picnics, parties, trips to the seaside etc. It's very simple - yet very satisfying - very Italian!

Ingredients

1 ciabatta bread
Olive oil
2 packs of mozzarella cheese
2 ripe tomatoes
8-10 basil leaves
Ground salt and pepper

Instructions

Drain the mozzarella then dry with paper towel and cut into thin slices. Slice the tomatoes.
Carefully cut the top of the ciabatta creating a lid. Using your fingers, scrape out the inside of the bread, and brush the inside with olive oil.
Fill with layers of mozzarella, tomato slices and basil leaves, then season and drizzle with some oil. Repeat the layers until the pocket is full.
Put the "lid" on, then wrap the loaf tightly with foil. Put it on a plate and chill in the fridge. Place some weight on the top it, to press down (eg milk cartons, tins).
Few hours later or the next day, remove the loaf from the refrigerator. Just before serving, unwrap and cut 1 inch thick slices.
