Corn Bread (Lombardy)
See also: Cornbread, Cornbread 2 Corn bread is a traditional bread recipe from the mountain areas of Lombardy, in Italy, where corn flour was much cheaper and easier to obtain than wheat. In its native area it's called “pan giald”, lombard for “yellow bread”. The sourdough in this recipe has been replenished with a ratio of 1 sourdough, 1 flour, 0.5 water, and should have been last replenished around 8–12 hours before.
