Cuban-American here. I give your take on our sammie a thumb's up. The 3 limes and standard orange is not a bad substitute for sour orange, which admittedly is difficult to come by in most of the US. The pork is pretty true to form. There is no such thing as too much garlic when it comes to a Cuban style shoulder. The cast iron pans was a nice way to crisp up the bread without using a panini press, which I will definitely be using in the future. All in all,. well done!

yeah everybody is from somewhere

I grew up eating and making Cuban sandwiches (born and raised in Puerto Rico), and the only thing I would change is the pickle placement and putting mustard on only one side. It may sound silly, but putting the pickles in the top (bread, cheese, pickles, ham, pork, cheese, mustard, bread) actually makes a difference. Even eating the sandwich upside down changes the flavor profile (think of a burger with the lettuce/tomato on the bottom vs the top). I’ve made hundreds of these sandwiches, and the order most definitely makes a difference.

My brother was my best friend we used to cook together, try to master chef up for my mom compete, sadly he passed during the pandemic Since I have learned to cook so many things I wished I could have made him, but Cubano is not one of them, we used to call it the all day sandwich. "Hey I made you a sandwich I started cooking for you 8 hours ago." Best Sandwich Ever, One of my happiest memories.

Brian, I made this recipe last night from start to finish (without any changes or substitutions) & I just wanted to tell you that it is wonderful. I paired it with a Cuban Cole slaw with an optional side of black beans & rice, but it's alot of sandwich & it's an even better as a standalone dish imo.

Between making the sandwich itself and just eating the pork by itself, it was a huge hit and so good. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos, it's very much appreciated Brian!

As a Cuban-American, we take a little short cut to marinating the meat. We use a bottle of Mojo Criollo you can find in most ethnic markets. It has the sour orange juice and lime plus all of the seasonings. We also cut slits into the pork and stuff them with garlic cloves. It is how abuela always made it.

I've made this twice now - so so good! The rolls are my new go-to for sandos.

Thank you! After visiting Miami and coming back to STL I crave cubanos (especially the cuban bread/toast!!) I was looking for a good recipe for the cuban bread. Can't wait to try it!! 😋

So, it was my second time making the rolls from this recipe and I've got a question for ya. Both times, my dough definitely was not as extensible as yours looked in the video after a 3 minute mix on low speed and then a 6 minute mix on high. I'm using King Arthur bread flour just like you and I've got shearing and tearing at that point big time. It definitely feels like the hydration is a tad higher than what I see in the video or something. Are you sure about the numbers in your recipe? Is it definitely supposed to be 68% hydration? I mean, both times, after the mix and I take it out and put it into a bowl, there is absolutely no way I'm tucking and folding it into a ball like you did without wet hands. There's just no way, the strength isn't there and it sticks bad. The rolls came out fine of course because I know what to do to handle it, but just wonderin'. You sure you didn't sneak in an autolyze on us? lol

@zacharywilliams105

2 жыл бұрын

I'm using the exact same brand of flour that you use. I find that with King Arthur bread flour that I need to mix/knead the dough longer than most people do for their recipes when they use bread four. I needed more like a 11 minute mix on high for this recipe. However, with that being said, I highly recommend for you to not go off of time when it comes to kneading bread, but rather use the window pane test instead, as I find it much more reliable than using time. I followed everything else in the cubano roll recipe pretty closely except I had a shorter proofing time as my yeast seemed to be super active today. My cubano rolls turned out great with those minor adaptations. Hope this helps.

Hi, It's likely you're making the recipe in a different climate than Mr Lagerstrom. I'd advise slightly reducing the amount of water in the recipe to make a more tensile dough. Even a small % change in the hydration of your mixture will radically impact how quickly/well it comes together, how "plastic" it is, etc.

Great video, that pork looks great!!! Being from Florida, I'm going to give a little history on the Cuban Sandwich. This sandwich was invented in Tampa Florida by enterprising Cuban food cart operators to feed the cigar workers in Ybor City, there were dozens of cigar factories in the Tampa area at the time, and most of the workers were Cuban. The original sandwich was just as you made it except with the addition of hard salami. Now, in Miami they sometimes add mayo (an abomination). The slash on top of the bread is not done with a lame, I understand that Cuban bakers place a palm frond on the bread to make the indentation. A well made Cuban sandwich is indeed one of the finest sandwiches in the world. It is one of my favorites and I love a good sandwich.

Two small petty quibbles: the palmetto leaf isn't essential but it does add something to the loaf; I would insert a sheet of parchment, butcher or some other paper between the bottom of the topmost cast-iron pan and the top of the sandwich. I used a brick to apply pressure.The sandwich press (panini-type) is really ideal for these types of sandwiches for providing heat on both sides of the sandwich simultaneously.

Cuban from Miami here. I 100% approve. Only difference is the bread, we usually throw the yeast in with some flower and water the night before to make it closer to a sourdough style of bread. The places here have a press that is lined with aluminum foil and the foil is coated with butter. And yes, the nuclear yellow mustard is 100% a must. The marinade is what we call Mojito. If you can get your hands on sour orange use that instead of regular oranges. We use this on chicken as well.

Not just because I was born in Havana, Cuba do I say this but without a doubt the best sandwich in the world. So incredibly a Symphony of pure deliciousness between two pieces of bread. Now I hungry and I want one. 😋🇨🇺
