Cuban Bread Recipe

[clintonbee]

I recently tried making Cuban bread, and it turned out wonderfully! The crust was perfectly crisp, and the inside was delightfully soft—just like you’d get from a bakery. Here’s how you can recreate it at home:
Ingredients:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
• 2 tablespoons lard or unsalted butter (room temperature)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Stir until combined.
2. Add the lard or butter, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic.
3. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough, then shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking sheet, cover, and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

The result is a deliciously airy loaf of Cuban bread that’s perfect for sandwiches or just enjoying with a bit of butter. Enjoy your baking!
