Creating ciabatta bread - a podcast by BBC World Service

In 1982, rally driver Arnaldo Cavallari created ciabatta bread in Adria, in northern Italy.

His family owned a flour mill and he wanted to invent a loaf to rival the French baguette.

Rachel Naylor speaks to his close friend and fellow baker, Marco Vianello.
