Cuban bread aka Pan Cubano is a simple white bread that is a staple in Cuban-American cuisine. Traditionally it is about 3-feet long, slightly flat and wide. It is the bread of choice to make authentic Cuban sandwich.
I can easily find pan Cubano in grocery stores. But the drawback for me is that it has lard aka pig fat added in it. Apparently it adds a slight meaty taste that is characteristic to this bread.

So, instead of buying I bake it right at home. I used King Arthur flour Cuban bread recipe. But adapted it to make it vegetarian. I substitute the lard with butter and add whole wheat flour for some extra fiber.
Also instead of making into one long baguette, I make them into smaller rolls. These Cuban rolls are perfect to make Cuban Tostada, hoagie sandwiches or these cheese pizza stuffed sandwiches.
Combine all the ingredients for the bread in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix and knead until a smooth, supple dough forms; about 8~10 minutes by hand or 6~8 minutes on the stand mixer.

Gently fold the dough upon itself and turn it upside down after 30 minutes; this turn helps in eliminating some of the carbon dioxide andredistributing the yeasts's food, both important for optimum yeast growth.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces and shape each one into a log. Cover and let the logs rest for 15 minutes. Then shape each piece into a 8 long log that is tapered on both sides (this shape has a fancy name, batard -- say that with a French accent 🙂

Quick Cuban Bread (pan Cubano)
I am Alyssa and the blogger behind The Recipe Critic. I started my blog in June of 2012 as a place to share my passion for cooking. I love trying new things and testing them out with my family.I got so much inspiration when I was in Miami a couple weeks ago. The food scene there is incredible and you can experience a fascinating montage of flavors there. I knew within the first day that I needed to figure out how to make my own cuban bread. Cuban bread uses lard as the fat base. I know that might scare you. Lard is such an ugly word, but the actual product is all natural and a great choice when it comes to fats to work with. All-vegetable shortening may sound prettier, but lard has been around for forever. You can find it in almost any grocery store. It is usually right in the same area as the shortening. It may come in a tin or a box. Give it a try. It can make some amazing pastries and biscuits. Lard, lard, lard. It’s an ugly word, but boy does it make some tasty stuff. Embrace the lard. Love the lard. Use the lard.
Cuban bread has a nice crisp crust on the outside with a tender crumb on the inside. It’s like eating a loaf of french bread that has been crossed with a pastry. It is best enjoyed fresh to retain that crisp outer layer.
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and warm water. Mix on a low setting using a dough hook.

3. Pour in the melted lard and let mix in, then gradually add in remaining flour until the dough comes together and stops sticking to the sides. Do not add too much flour. The dough should remain soft and pliable, but should not be stiff.
6. Roll the dough out into about a 12 inch by 20 inch rectangle. Roll up tightly from the long end to create a 20 inch long roll. Roll it back and forth a few times to taper the ends.
7. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet (you may have to do it from corner to corner to fit). Cover loosely and let rise another 1 hour.

8. Place a pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. The water will create a steam oven.
9. Brush the rise loaf with a tablespoon or two of water and use a sharp knife to create a slice or two down the middle.
This recipe uses a technique that creates a steam oven at home. Commercial bakeries use steam ovens to achieve a crust that is chewy and flaky and ultra delicious. You can do that in your regular home oven by placing a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of your oven. The heat of the oven will turn the water into steam. Just be careful when you are opening your oven door
