Sourdough Tiger Bread and High School blast to the past / Pane tigre al lievito madre e ritorno al Liceo

I do not remember at all the first time I came across ” Tiger Bread “. I have no memories, no anecdotes. But I’ll never forget the first time I was able to bake a beautiful batch (I’d rather not talk about the first attempt, it is still an open wound!). A month ago I received an invitation from an old teacher of my former Art School, Prof. Fasola, to participate in an event organized by the school to celebrate his 60th birthday.
