Chef John's Rustic Italian Cornbread
I created this Italian cornbread recipe after speaking with my mother, Pauline. She told me about a bread she used to eat at her grandmother's house. She said it was one of her favorites — a basic Italian bread with some cornmeal in it. I love to play food detective, so I took her description and went to work. I believe this is pretty close to what she remembers, and even if it's a bit off, it was still delicious.
