Cuban Bread

Cultural Context

Cuban bread has its roots in the Spanish colonial era, influenced by both Spanish and indigenous culinary traditions. It is a staple in Cuban cuisine, often enjoyed with sandwiches or as a side to meals. The bread's unique texture and flavor come from the use of lard or shortening, and it is characterized by its crispy crust and soft interior. Today, Cuban bread is celebrated not only in Cuba but also in Cuban communities around the world, particularly in Florida, where it plays a central role in the famous Cuban sandwich.
