Cuban Bread Recipe

	Meskarune / All my dishes 4 months, 1 week ago Cuban bread is a very good bread to eat with soups and for sandwiches. It is a dense bread with a thin, hard crust and soft middle and a very delicious flavor. The bread continues to rise as the oven heats, which makes the crust very thin and crisp. ...

Ingredients

7 cups flour

1 - 2 cup warm water

1 packet of yeast

1 Tbsp salt

Splash of oil

2 tsp Sugar

Directions

In a bowl mix warm water, yeast, salt and sugar together until it is foamy.

Add flour one cup at a time kneading until it is well mixed and you have a stiff dough that is not sticky.

Rub the dough in oil and over the top of the bowl place a warm wet rag

Let the dough rest in a warm place and rise until it is about twice its original size. I'd suggest letting the bread rise over night or make the dough in the morning and let it rise while you are away at work.

After the first rise. On a flat baking sheet, sprinkle flour or cornmeal so the dough will not stick.

Shape the dough into a loaf (I like a thick, square loaf for sandwich slices) and place the loaf on the baking sheet.

Let the dough rise another 5 minutes

In the oven place a pan with water in it on the bottom rack

Place the flat baking sheet and loaf on the second rack.

DO NOT PRE-HEAT THE OVEN! Put the bread and water into a cold oven, then turn it to 400 degrees

Bake for 40-45 minutes.

I have always loved making breads, and this recipe is so great, especially letting it rise for a long time! I always think that makes the bread so flavorful. Thanks for sharing!

Ever since eating my first slice of Cuban bread when visiting my sister in Miami many years ago, I was hooked - you describe it perfectly...sooo good, and makes the best toast and "panini" type sandwiches ever. I really appreciate the recipe, because I cannot find true Cuban bread at our local suburban grocery stores (I'm sure I could find it in the city, but I never go grocery shopping when there!). I hope to try this soon - I'm not very experienced at bread-making, but your directions are very clear and concise...I think I can do this!!! Thank you!
