Cuban bread (in the oven)

Cuban bread (in the oven)

Category: Yeast bread

Kitchen: cuban

Ingredients
Wheat flour (I have 1c)	425g.
Fast-acting instant yeast (I have "Saf-moment")	7d.
Salt	8d.
Sugar	15g.
Lard (I have ghee)	4d.
Water (50C)	280g.

Cooking method

• Heat the water to 50C. Add 200g. flour, salt, sugar, yeast and beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Leave alone for 10 minutes.
• Then add lard (ghee), add the rest of the flour (225g.) And knead the dough at low speed for 2 minutes. Leave the dough alone for 20 minutes.
• After a while, knead the dough until the gluten develops in the food processor at high speed, 7-10 minutes. I kneaded for 7 minutes in Thermomix, "Spikelet" mode.
• Roll the dough into a ball and place in a greased dish, ferment for 30-40 minutes at 38C. During this time, the dough will grow to a maximum (up to a volume of 5 liters) and will lose elasticity - when you press it with your fingers, it will no longer straighten.
• Then knead the dough, knead for 30 seconds to squeeze out large bubbles of gas, roll into a ball and leave alone on the table for 10 minutes. Next, roll into tight balls, pinch the seam from the bottom and place in a cast-iron saucepan with a volume of at least 3 liters. If there is no cast iron, then on a baking sheet covered with paper.
• Cover and place in a warm (40-45C) oven for 20 minutes.
• Make deep (1cm) cross cuts on the workpiece and spray with water,
• Further, if you bake in a cast iron, like me. Close the lid, put in a cold oven, turn on 200C and bake for 40 minutes. Then remove the lid and bake until golden brown for another 20 minutes.
• If you are baking on a baking sheet, then put a bowl with 1 cup boiling water in a cold oven, put a baking sheet, turn on 200C and bake for 60 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack without a towel.
• 
• 
• 
• This bread can be eaten with the nose. First, the crumb is the most delicate. Secondly, so fragrant .. would breathe and breathe. Bake for everyone !!
• shl. This bread opens up extremely strongly during baking. If you give it insufficient time for fermentation and proofing, then it opens up a little, which is not correct.

The dish is designed for

weight of finished bread 650g.

Time for preparing:

3 hours

Note

recipe from LJ Luda 🔗, thank you very much for such a wonderful bread.

[Ksenia !!!]

Gorgeous bread, Ksenia !!! Myakish is also great!
I will definitely try, only 1 grade flour needs to be obtained ...
Thank you.

[Marish]

Marish, Thank you!! In the original recipe - Sun.

Aaaaa! Lace! _{where is Arch?}
I saw it too late and put it on the loaf.
But I will definitely try to bake such a handsome man.
Ksyusha! Tireless you are our expert! Vivat!

So I thought that the bun in the photo could only be Omeline! Beautiful bread! I will definitely bake. Why Cuban?

[Lena, Zhenya,]

Lena, Zhenya, thanks girls! be sure to bake. The bread is simple to perform. The most difficult thing is to wait 40 minutes while he bakes there under the lid. I almost lost my mind from curiosity !!!

Why Cuban?

Luda writes: "Cuban" bread. Recipe from the book by Bernard Clayton. I put the name of this bread in quotation marks because it doesn't look like the more popular Cuban bread in Cuba or the United States, specifically Florida, which is famous for its Cuban bread. What the Cubans themselves are accustomed to consider as Cuban bread are long loafs of saikas, very thin, hypertrophied soft and tender, always with lard in the recipe. You can follow the author's link, there are photographs of authentic bread.

["bun"]

So I thought that the bun in the photo could only be Omeline!

Gee .. this "bun" from 400g. flour took up a volume of 3 liters !!!

Bulishcha!

Ksyusha, incomparable bread! And outwardly handsome, and openwork crumb!

Bake for everyone !!

Necessarily!

Ol,

Bake for everyone !!

Boo done! Not today, it's already baked for today.

Glorious bread! I will do it!

[tatulja12, Kusya]

tatulja12, Kusya, Thanks and good luck!

[Xun]

Bake for everyone !!

Xun, awesome bread !!! Of course I will bake!

Can I ask you for a photo of the cast iron in which the bread was baked? Will my Zepter dishes fit? and the cast iron is shaped towards the bottom, and it is just a cast iron pan, but it is rather high than wide

[Marish]

Marish, Thank you!! Peks are a must, you won't regret it.

Can I ask you for a photo of the cast iron in which the bread was baked? Will my Zepter dishes fit? and the cast iron is shaped towards the bottom, and it is just a cast iron pan, but it is rather high than wide

Lantana , I can't say anything about the zepter. I don't have it and I don't know anything about it.
The cast iron is a figurative comparison. You actually need a saucepan. I have this type:



She is wide and short. Dimensions: at the bottom - 20cm, at the top - 25cm, height - 9cm.

[fast acting]

I also wanted to warn lovers of fresh pressed yeast that this bread can only be baked on fast acting stamps, i.e. such:
1. Lviv pressed yeast "Extra", 🔗

2. Pressed yeast "record" with a red label -

They must be taken 2.2 times more than dry ones.

The usual "Lux" will not work.

[Mistletoe]

Mistletoe, why Lux - not suitable?

[Victoria]

Victoria, fast-acting are needed due to the specifics of proving this particular bread.

thanks, understood

Awesome bread!

And delicious !!

Mistletoe, and Cuban is also yours? Is that why I only press on your recipes? I am opening the third recipe and it is yours

"Well, you have two husbands ??? It turns out that two" (c)

Good day. You here described all kinds of kneading modes - is it in a bread maker? Can you knead it with your hands or with a food processor, for example? I didn't bake before, so I decided to try it, so there is absolutely zero experience

[monblana]

monblana , welcome to the forum! You can knead with your hands, if you know how, and with a food processor, if it is suitable for this. The description is given just for a dough mixer-combine.

Here you can see the kneading of a regular yeast dough: ht 🔗

Thank you very much, today I found the same yeast, so tomorrow I can try to do it if the child gives it)))

Good luck !!

Omela, another thank you for your bread !!! The aroma was so-so, well, very tasty. They haven't eaten bread so quickly for a long time.

[Galina]

Galina, glad you liked it!!!

Mistletoe !!! I brought my thanks for another delicious bread. And bread, fluffy, fragrant, delicious

[Lena]

Lena, wonderful bread !! Glad you liked!!!

All done! Super tasty, almost nothing was left, half ate with my husband right away, treated people with the other half, did not even have time to take a picture. True, it took a long time, almost six hours. Since the oven was busy, the dough was growing on my hot tub. In the next. since I will not use the oven. There was only one problem - I cooked in the oven and for some reason could not tear off the bread from the paper, so they ate it, it was easier to tear off a thin piece already. The husband did not bathe at all, he said that it was already edible. Thanks for the recipe.

[monblana]

monblana , lope you have adventures! I'm glad that in the end everything ended well !!!

There was only one problem - I was cooking in the oven and for some reason I could not tear off the bread from the paper, so we ate it,

Here the question is only about paper. We need to replace it with a quality one. What brand do you have ??

I don't remember, the paper was in cellophane, I just threw it out and put it in a box of old paper, maybe I should have sprinkled it with flour. I actually plan to do it tomorrow in a rectangular silicone mold, since the ball takes up almost the entire baking sheet, and is eaten quickly. And my son does not walk yet, so he relies on everything, including the oven, so I try to use it less often or in the evening after lights out. So, if it goes well in this form, I will buy a second one and cook two loaves at once.
By the way, the bread tastes the same as in Ukraine they bake on wood, in particular in the city of Mukachevo, where my aunt lives. This year I was resting with her, so I ate half a loaf at a time without anything, even without butter. At home it was scary to get on the scales, but a small child helps to keep fit.

[monblana]

it was necessary to sprinkle with flour.

monblana , it is not necessary to sprinkle good paper with flour !!!

And my son doesn't walk yet, so he relies on everything, including the oven,

I understand you. I bought a tabletop oven for the same reasons.

I also miss the oven ... To be honest, I am generally shocked by the list of your kitchen appliances, where do you store all this? I have a kitchen of 9 meters with a small tail, so for the sake of a multicooker I had to buy a new TV and hang it on the wall, I also have to keep something in the closet, and not convenient, I like it when everything is at hand, because I use almost everything every day - a combine, a multicooker, a children's steamer-blender, a toaster, and also a kettle, a microwave oven ... And then she actively began to plant violets, so also the window sill with all the walls / shelves is occupied by the DURDOM

To be honest, I'm generally shocked by the list of your kitchen appliances,

Huh .. Is this a list ??? By the way, there are not all devices there yet !! Here are some. And everything stands on the kitchen work surface and table. For me, if you put something in the closet (a juicer, for example), then say goodbye !! The microwave hangs on brackets, there is no toaster, a double boiler in a multicooker.

I just have a special steamer Aventovskaya - on one side of it, a jug is steamed, and if you turn it upside down - and the blender is ready - it saves dirty dishes, time and is convenient. But this is for a while, while the baby needs to be smaller, then I will give her to a friend, they will just start feeding. And you can't hang a microwave oven, I've been thinking for a long time, because it has ventilation from above, you can't even put anything on it.

For me, if you put something in the closet (a juicer, for example), then say goodbye !!

- And this is about me too, that's why I'm trying to squeeze everything onto the table
I here started studying the issue of baking, otherwise I liked it, you need to understand what I am doing. And I came across an article that confused me. The question arose: this bread uses 7 grams of instant yeast, there are 11 of them in a bag, that is, I have a part left, I twisted the bag, snapped it with a stapler and put it on the shelf. And now I read that they have a very short shelf life. What to do with the balance and how do you proceed?

And you can't hang the microwave, I thought for a long time, because it has ventilation on top,

I have it hanging .. on the wall ..

I added my message on top of the storage of yeast, I had to write a new one

[Xu!]

Xu! Can I flood here?
Thank you!

monblana! In your description of the steamer-blender I recognized the device, which people asked about here: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=177158.0

Can you sign off on the impression of the use?

In general, it is advised to keep the open pack tightly wrapped on the refrigerator door. But I keep it in my kitchen cabinet. But I bake often, so they are consumed quickly.

Xu! Can I flood here?

Come on .. if you don’t carry a Cuban !!!

Can you sign off on your impression of the use?

Of course, she described it as best she could.

Good day. Made in a silicone mold, but it seemed to me that a lot of dough for one such mold and divided into small buns in a silicone mold for cupcakes. It turned out to be small buns. It's cool, my husband doesn't need to cut pieces on himself, so he threw a couple in a bag and went.I cooked for less than an hour, but forgot to set the timer and didn't even look at what time I set it, so I got it out intuitively, after 40 minutes, I think.

[monblana]

monblana , I'm glad that everything worked out for you !!!
You can read the answers to all your questions in Technical department of the site and forum. If something is not clear, ask and do not worry, we all once studied !!!

[Omela,]

Omela, Thanks for the help, I inserted the photo, it seems to figure it out. Found a glitch in another section, now I'm dealing with it

[monblana]

monblana , well!!!

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, take the report. The bread is amazing! Husband's control passed, he was eaten while still warm - he broke it off in chunks and ate it as soon as it cooled down a little. I barely managed to take a photo!

Thank you very much for the recipe!

[Marish]

Oh man!!!!! Marish, great bread !!! Aha, husband, they are so .. they love warm white bread !!!
