This is a simple, crusty white bread with sweet potato water accounting for all of the liquid. Good for hearty sandwiches!

Jo_jo_ba, do you know if this is like the Cuban bread you find in the Miami area that is used to make the "smashed" Cuban sandwiches? I would love to know how they make that bread - it's a pretty dense texture...you mention it is good for "hearty sandwiches" so I am thinking it would be similar. I MUST try!!

I think it's very similar if not the same exact kind... This bread is awesome when you need something substantial but I do have to wonder what a strong grilled cheese would be like on this.

Sorry. This bread sound terrific on its own, but it is not Pan Cubano, or Cuban Bread used in sandwiches. That recipe uses a starter for leavening and lard. The lard makes for a smooth interior. It is a must. Pan Cubano is similar to French or Italian breads, except for the starter and lard.
