‘The direct translation of this would be home-style or rustic bread. Its origins are in Puglia, Calabria and Campania, where the wives would prepare something wholesome, often using leftovers, to give to their farmer husbands when they came home after working on the land. The lard imparts a very special taste, but you can use olive oil instead.’
