Your story made me laugh. 18 Years ago I married "Mr. White Bread", well that's how I refer to my husband. In his 35 years, he had never seen Scali. I grew up in an Italian home in Rever, Mass (a predominant Italian area) just a short 7 miles North over the bridge from Boston. Scali was all we knew. I had never had Wonder or Pepperidge Farms or any other commercial loaf of bread. Our bread came from the local Italian bakery. Any type of sandwich, even French Toast was made with this wonderful delicacy. Just as your story progressed so has ours, My husband tasted Scali and never went back. It wasn't til my local Grocery store (now that we have moved to western Mass) which made a wonderful Scali went on strike this summer, did I venture to find your recipe. Now that I have found it, I will continue to practice until I get it perfect. Thank you for a wonderful story and recipe.
