We're Tampa FL transports to Albuquerue NM and really miss the Columbia Resturant's Cuban and 1905 salad. I just started to learn to bake, specifically to make Cuban Bread. I've tried 2 different bread recipes, gotten from the Internet, and even ended up buying a KitchenAide 6 Qt Pro mixer thinking I wasn't kneading properly. The problem; loaves come out too flat. The dough batch seems to rise properly but when divided into loaves they never rise up enough. The flavor was always good just something wrong. My neighbor said to use King Arthur flour so I bought a bag of the Bread mix. Much better rise but not perfect, yet. Your recipe here had slightly different amounts and used the General Purpose flour, that'll be my next attempt. By the way, the Columbia's recipe for a Cuban pays particular attention to the order of the ingrdients; ham, pork, salami, swiss cheese, pickles and yellow mustard on the top. Then use a sandwich press and your off to the races. Oh yes, don't forget the fried plantians in olive oil. Don't hesitate to call our bakers if you have any questions while you're making the recipe. 1-800-827-6836, we'll be happy to help you along. ~ MaryJane
