When I grew up in Niagara Falls there were two places to get great Italian bread ... still enjoy their bread, pizza, and doughnuts. But Trusello’s, in my opinion, was the best of all time.

Panzanella, the summery Italian bread salad made with ripe tomatoes, is one of the best known. This variation uses multigrain or wholewheat bread, which makes especially crunchy croutons.
