CUBAN BREAD!

Recommended Posts

For the starter:
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon dry active yeast
- mix well and refrigerate overnight
 
For the dough:
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup warm water
- mix and let stand 15 minutes
- add starter from day before (reserve 1/4 cup if you want to keep your starter going), plus:
3 tablespoons lard
2 teaspoons fine salt
about 3 cups flour, or as needed (I used 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
and 1 1/2 cups bread flour)
water to spray tops of loaves
 
Enjoy this bread!  Garvin

So I am going to add his video for the Cubano Sandwich to this thread because they go hand in hand. The only thing about how he made his sandwich is the spread used he does an mayo and yellow mustard combo, but the cubano sandwich I had when I was in Miami was yellow mustard only. I have to say I like the idea of his spread!

Enjoy, Garvin

As pointed out by Mackenzie that the time and temp of this cook was not listed in description. Bake at 400* for 20 to 25 minutes. Thanks again Mac for catching that!!

My first Cuban Bread is baked. :) Now I have to find something to make a sandwich. I went searching the deep freeze for a package of pulled pork and there is none. :(:(:(

Mackenzie that looks great, Starting my starter on Saturday for a bake on Sunday! So glad you made some and I think any thing you put in the bread will be good, even just toast with butter.

Made my sandwich, went to the store and bought more packaged meat  than I have eaten in total over the last 20 years, all for one huge sandwich.

The bread is cool and I sliced that 12 inch loaf in half for this sandwich.

Toasted in my panini pan.

Not a big fan of dill pickles so used some pickles of my own.

Served with some Jalapeno chips.
