Pan Cubano / Cuban Loaf Bread
This is a very traditional bread from Cuba. Similar to a soft Italian loaf of bread. It takes time to make but well worth the effort. Each step is actually quick and simple. The time is waiting for the starter and the different risings. Bake this once and you'll be hooked! I suggest making several loaves at once and freezing them after they are baked. Never be without!

- 1
The starter must be prepared 24 hours before you are ready to make the bread. So let's get this going.
- 2
Dissolve yeast in the heated water. Stir in the flour, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- 3
Let's start the dough.
- 4
Mix sugar, heated water and yeast together. Let this sit for 5 minutes until it proofs, becoming foamy.
- 5
In a large mixing bowl on low speed, mix proofed yeast, butter and 1/2 of the starter. Use a dough hook attachment to mix.
- 6
Keeping on a low speed, mix in salt and flour adding flour in at small increments.
- 7
Dough should mix until it forms a smooth ball. Once that forms, knead dough for 6 minutes.
- 8
Lightly oil a bowl and place in dough. Roll dough around in oil to lightly cover all the dough. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm, dry area for 45 minutes.
- 9
After 45 minutes, uncover, punch down dough and cover again.
- 10
Let this rise for 30 minutes.
- 11
Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece out to 16" long loaf shape.
- 12
Place each loaf on a greased parchment lined baking sheet.
- 13
Cover each loaf with plastic wrap and let it rise once more for 45 minutes in warm, dry area.
- 14
Heat oven to 350°F fahrenheit. Once it is preheated, bake loaves for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
