Type of Italian bread (8)
I believe the answer is:
ciabatta
'type of italian bread' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ciabatta that I've seen before include "Light flat Italian bread" , "Flat Italian bread made with olive oil" , "Flattish Italian bread" , "sandwich made with this?" , "Loaf" .)
