I'm a bit confused about the different kinds of bread. What is the difference between a ciabatta and a baguette?

A ciabatta is typically a rustic Italian-style loaf that has a chewy, open texture and a soft crust. It's often served sliced and toasted. A baguette is a long, thin French loaf with a crisp crust and a light, airy interior. It's usually served sliced and can be eaten on its own or with spreads.
