Rose, I enjoyed your comments on Scala bread. I agree the stores today do not sell real Scala bread. The bread we used to purchase at Clyde's in Plymouth, MA, and the same bread my mother bought when she was a child growing up in the north end of Mansfield was different. They called it Scala or horn bread, because of the shape it was made in. It was very crusty and very white with a very fine texture. There were no air bubbles. The crust had a faint salty taste, and it was fun to break off the four "horns" for snacking. Someone else in Plymouth is making the bread now, but it is not the same. It has big bubbles, and tastes like regular Italian bread. The real Scala or horn bread recipe seems to be kept secret, and passed on within families.
