CHEF JOHN, I'M CUBAN AND ACTUALLY THIS ISN'T HOW YOU-- Nah, I'm just kidding, this recipe rules. Been wanting a Cubano recipe for a while, so definitely looking forward to the next vid!!

Being Cuban American this makes me so happy. Dipping it in café con leche for breakfast is everything.

I love this guy "lemme give a sneak preview... Ok, That's enough!" never change, Chef John. Never change!

omg, Chef John...you always make me giggle with your throw away humor. And I have to say, that is one of most perfect kneads I have ever seen on RU-vid. I recently found your channel and think you are terrific. The videos are like sitting in your kitchen, watching you cook. Thank you so much for your time and talent and sharing this information!! From a Grammy who can always learn something.

I can't WAIT to see Chef John's Cuban Sandwich video. I heard it was so authentic that Trump wants to deport it!

Cuban breaddd 🙌🏽 I'm not Cuban, I just really love bread

I left Miami about 30 years ago. Thanks, now I'm craving a medianoche. Won't be able to try this for a couple of days when I have time. Perfect.

There are many great and skilled chefs on RU-vid, but Chef John is the best of them all. There is nobody quite as good as Chef John. Literary none of them make video recipes as detailed, easy to follow, fabulous, entertaining, and funny as Chef John! Keep it up Chef John!

Chef John I came here yesterday to make bread today 😁

I'm lucky to have a Cuban bakery near me, and their cubano sandwich is MASSIVE and delicious.

this is the best cooking show of all time

We have the yummiest Cuban bread here in Miami 😄❤

Whole video was excellent. That sneak peak made me exclaim " Gawd!!! " immediately. Can't wait till the follow up video!

love your channel. hands down the best cooking channel on RU-vid, with no daytime tv-esque gimmicks. I can't wait for that Cubano.

so stoked for the cubano video!!!! Its easily in my top 3 sandwhiches. its just perfect in every way.

You are without a doubt my favourite RU-vid personality!

I love all of your videos and your narrating, it makes me smile no matter my mood

long time i search for a good recipie for cuban bread , and now finaly i have it thank you food wishes !! good job like always !!

Holy moly I'm salivating just from the sneak peak! I am NOT going to miss that video!

I'm an native Floridian (5th gen), born and raised in Tampa and THAT is exactly how it's done. Well done, Chef John.

best chef on youtube. hands down.

I love this man. I have learned so much. Thank you so much Chef John.

Thanks Chef! Our family loves Cuban sandwiches! This is definitely on my list to make and invite the family over. Can't wait for the sandwich video!

You are so awesome! Thanks for the techniques that I have missed when making bread! I'm going to try them now!!!

As a Florida boy, I can't wait to see your take on Cuban sandwiches! The bread already looks amazing! :)

it's nice that now we are allowed to make and eat cuban bread

I think it's awesome that we can enjoy these recipes again now that the US and Cuba have restored diplomatic relations.

It really is the same as the ones they sell in PR. Always buy it for sandwiches yet it doesn't always last longer than the five minute drive to buy it. Haha. I'll definitely try this one non-lazy day. Thank you for sharing!

Chef John! I Love you, and butter.

These loaves look beautiful!

aww yiss! Cubano is my fav sandwich, can't wait!

That looks so good i love cuban bread 🇨🇺

Should have said "the Jean-Luc Picard of when to use lard"

wow, that smelled really good when it came out of the oven! Thanks for sharing. wish I could have really smelled it instead of just imagining it.

That looks amazing! I might have to try baking up a couple loaves of this for gifts.

Just checking in. As per my comment last night, I was already actively planning on making cubans today, but with rye bread. After seeing this video, those plans were changed to use this bread recipe. Well, the deed is done, and dare I say this is one of the best cubans I've ever had. I absolutely love the crunch this bread developed. Far, far more than any other bread I've ever tried. Maybe that's the lard factor? You know I didn't skip out on that! A++, Chef; thanks for the recipe!

Hi John! This bread looks good. I've never had Cuban sandwich. Looking forward to that 😊

yes! I've been waiting for this forever!!

I've just died and entered heaven ! ♡ THANK YOU CHEF ♡

Reminds me of 'Pan de Agua' from Puerto Rico. Looking forward to the pork filled deliciousness on those sammiches :)

I've been using French bread for my Cuban sandwiches I hope I haven't caused an international incident.

PHILIPPINES FOOD WISHES!!!! Crispy pata, sisig, bibingka and buko pie are all amazing

Now I want a cuban sandwich! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Cool it is a one day(plus) fermented starter. Looking forward to the Cuban sandwich yum!

This is an especially great video.. I can't wait to see the sandwich 🍞

That Cubano preview, oh man. You got me right at lunchtime, Chef, and now I want a ham sandwich.

Just made this after following your recipe, so good!

where has this channel been all my life!!!!!!

I've made Cuban Bread and didn't even know it! Yay for experimenting!

Looks good! I hope to travel to Cuba someday to try some authentic Cuban bread in person!

That sandwich peek was very teasing. Of course, I can't wait for your next video!

What a beautiful thing! 😊

You are awesome John!!!

Real Cuban uses LARD! Accept no substitutes!

Pan de Manteca!!!! Cuban LIFE!

so good chef

Looks delicious🍞🍞🍞

If only you could make your next receipt A media noche or A ropa vieja sandwich Then I'd make this bread for sure

I've had one to many unrisen (is that a word?) bowls of dough because I didn't test my yeast. I'm with the chef, I always proof my yeast now.

Chef John's comedy show ... love it!

My dad is Cuban and we still make Cuban Sandwiches every Christmas. Truth be told, when we make the sandwiches we just buy french bread from the supermarket because it's basically the same. I'll have to give this a whirl.

ooh, I'm making this one, yum.

looking forward to the next video!

just what I needed!!

Love it

As a cuban, cuban bread is the BEST!

luv ya Brother Chef John!

That is a great looking bread recipe. I don't even think bakeries in my city have that type of bread.

Chef John, I have a food wish! Could you make some more one-pot recipes or anything else relatively cheap and easy? Thanks! 💕

You have my interest Chef John, as I come from the land of cuban sandwiches... that being Florida. Can't wait to see the next episode.

l love Cuban sandwiches! BTW nice hands;)

Looks amazing! I will give this recipe a try :) Shame that we didn't have crust sound test.

Chef, this sounds so good!! AND, I just happen to have some beautiful Fatty Ham in the freezer for this.

Superb.. I need to learn to bake.. :)

been waiting for this...

Cool recipe sir

Hey chef John! Avid viewer here. I've been craving a good chile relleno. Would love to see your take on that yummy southwest classic.

I've made a lot of breads, but never Cuban. I've got to try it.

Dear Chef John, Thank you for sharing this recipe. I was wondering if you have the steps for the sweet Cuban bread used for Cuban Medianoche (Midnight Sandwiches). I would appreciate this greatly!

hey that's pretty good

Mucho gracias, Chef Juan! I just happen to have 125 g of "saindoux", French for lard. It's been in the fridge for awhile. I hope it's not rancid.

Great video as always Chef John! ^^ My family loves your tikka masala recipe :D

I'm using chicken schmatlz when I make this. It looks like a good substitute for the Italian sub rolls from the New Jersey sub shops. My dad is missing them and I'm trying to replicate it. Nothing has come close yet. starting the sponge today! Woohoo!

I love you chef john! "just as a friend/chef though, sorry"

Chef John, speaking of lard, how do you feel about sandwiches with pork lard, bacon bits, and caramelized onions? Did your polish grandmother ever make that?

You are the Mark Cuban of your cuban bread!

I'm currently hunting for a condo or a small home as my current studio has no oven in it - just a stove top and my slow-cooker. When I finally get an oven, this will likely be the first thing I cook.

Hola chef John have you tried ropa vieja? that bread looks delish

You are the Paul Reubens, of the bread for your Cubans.

Thank you for such a beautiful bread recipe! Why must we put corn meal on the sheet pan? Does the corn meal help to prevent sticking, is it pretty to look at, is there a mystery reason for it? o.O

Looks great..The Pork Lard is at Safeway in the cooking oil area.

I am! You're right :)

John, For viewers not using a chevron baking pan may require a longer bake time

cool one.. will try in my channel.

Can't wait for SB predictions!

PLEASE MAKE Jamaican rice and peas PLEASE!!!!

was watching your Tiramisu recipe when the notification for thisvideo poped up!

Hi Chef John! I used to get a bread loaf that looked JUST like this from the local supermarket, but the inside was more stiff and heavy, with big air pockets, unlike the rather spongy soft texture that your loaf has. Would longer rise time make it heavier, or is it a matter of aging the starter or usingf less or more yeast or something?

I want a brioche or Texas toast recipe!
