Cut the ciabatta into 5 mm thick slices and place on a baking sheet. Crush the garlic clove, mix it with 3 tablespoons of oil/olive oil, and brush the bread slices with it. Roast in a hot oven at 200 degrees Celsius on the middle rack for 5-8 minutes until golden brown. Vigorously mix the balsamic vinegar with 5 tablespoons of oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and cut into thin slices. Arrange the bread slices on a platter with the tomatoes, slightly overlapping. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and let stand for 10 minutes. Pick the basil (or arugula) leaves and scatter them over the salad along with the Parma ham just before serving.
