Grilled Bread (Pane alla Grillia)
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 loaf ciabatta bread
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large cloves garlic
1 tomato, halved crosswise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice ciabatta in half
lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1-inch slices. In batches as needed, grill the ciabatta slices,
cut side down until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Working quickly, drizzle the toasted
sides with extra-virgin olive oil. Rub the garlic cloves over the grilled bread, then rub the cut
side of the tomatoes over the grilled bread. It's important to do this while the bread is still hot
or warm, otherwise the garlic won't melt into the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve
warm.
