"GIRL"! I love that you are so brave and walk us through your first try. I love cuban bread n I'm in Virginia now and there is not one Cuban, Puerto Rican bakeries. Thank you so much for your down home way.
OMG! I want to reach through the screen and grab a piece! We live in the Twin Cities, MN. No Cuban bread here or anything close to it. Can’t wait to try baking it. Thank you, Lelita!
Nancy Lissarrague Yes I understand. I live in the suburbs of New York & we don’t have any Cuban bakeries or restaurants here either. That’s why I wanted to learn to make Cuban bread. Thank you sweetheart for watching . 😘
Hi!! Love this video. I am married to a Cuban and he loves this bread so much. I have made many recipes that stated they were Cuban Bread but basically they tasted like just your average French Bread. There is such a big difference between that and REAL Cuban Bread. I just saw your video and have no tried it yet, but I can tell with all of the attention paid to getting the most out of that yeast and making that starter, not to mention the addition of the Manteca. I will give it a try tomorrow and post a picture. Thanks for all you do, 🙋♀️
Lelita congratulations on your subscriber numbers, you deserve it! You are true to all your recipes with so much patience, thank you for sharing !! Iam Cuban , it’s perfect , you did it girl, I like the part no palm leaf 😅!!!
Lolita I can’t wait to make it ! Thank you for the meticulous recipe ! That’s it ! The proof is in the picture of the bread as you sliced it ! So we can enjoy it ! Bless you, A Cuban !
Your water should be between 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit. You can knead the flour for about 5 minutes if using a mixture becomes a ball & the dough doesn’t stick to the sides of bowl anymore.
Nice recipe. I’m a home bread baker and if you need a starter for a recipe, it doesn’t matter whether you use instant yeast or active dry yeast. It’s to get a jump on fermentation. When baking bread without a starter, active dry yeast needs to be proofed, not instant yeast. The purpose of a starter is to have pre fermented dough to add to the main dough, hence a starter.
