How Do You Make Incredible Cuban Bread?
This is the most incredible bread that I have ever had. I found it labeled as Cuban bread. However it works well for soup bowls or even pizza crust and bread sticks. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place a small heat resistant container such as pyrex with a small amount of water into the oven to maintain a humid cooking condition in the oven. Place sugar and yeast into water and mix until dissolved, leave it alone for 5-10 minutes while the mixture activates the yeast properly Place flour in mixer and blend in salt and oil. 4. When yeast has begun foaming begin mixing it with the flour until dough is formed. If mixing by hand knead dough for several minutes. Flour will initially be sticky, this is ok. Place dough in well oil bowl to rise until doubled in size. Punch dough down into two neat little loaves and slice 3 times across the top of each. Place them on a well oiled cookie sheet to rise a second time. When roughly doubled in size brush on egg white. This will give it a nice shiny
