LOL

I have 10 italian restaurants within 2 miles of my house.

There’s not much room for putting out something that wasn’t up to par.

But they still do sometimes :)

“The grooves on the internal surface would have facilitated the removal of the bread once baked.”

Pure genius if true. Anyone know why?

“ 2 hours at an initial temperature of 420°”

That’s 788F.

It must have been the ancient equivalent of a microwave at that temp!

That has to be wrong if means 420 Celsius. At 788F it wouldn’t it be burnt to pure carbon before two hours? Probably within an hour?

They were very poor people, so poor they couldn’t speak except in outrageous accent.

Breadmaking appears to have been going on long before this, but probably no outdoor cafes. :^)

I would have tried it years before I did, in pre-cellphone days, but the wait for the table took too long and someone was tying up the pay phone.
