Garvinque Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Thanks, Garvin. That sandwich sure looks extra tasty. Garvin- May I suggest that to the Cuban bread recipe you add the cooking time and temp. The only place I could find it was on the video. Bake at 400F for 20-25 mins.

MacKenzie Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad you made some and I think any thing you put in the bread will be good, even just toast with butter. Garvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 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. That sandwich was stuffed, now I'm stuffed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
