Scali bread! I grew up in a very traditional family in Boston and that was the only bread in our home. If you can believe it, I used to long for the lousy white bread my non-Italian friends would bring for sandwiches to school for lunch. I left the east coast at the age of 19 to move to CA and have not been able to find Scali bread anywhere, it is just not available out here. I have satisfied my desire for this wonderful bread by gorging on it on my annual visits to Boston. I am not a baker but this site has lit a fire under me, I have decided to learn to make this long time favorite!
Carla, hope the reality matches your memories - I'm glad we've lit the fire! - PJH
