Santos Bakery Cuban Bread

My favorite unsliced loaf is Cuban bread. The crust is the lightly toasted and the inside is soft and layered like a biscuit. This one from the Santos Bakery is not the best I had but is still better than Italian or French bread which is chewy and hard respectively.

I thinks Santos Bakery is a Portuguese bread company and for the ideal Cuban bread you need a Cuban or at least Hispanic bakery (Hispanic being Puerto Rican, Cuban, or Dominican). Cuban bread is soft and light because lard or some type of shortening is usually added.

Ideally this is a sandwich bread that does not have any sauce. It goes bad quickly so saving it is not a good idea. At $1.39 per loaf you can make two subs that are about six inches each. The loaves are wider than normal Italian or French bread so the are very better if you use a lot of meat.

Recommendation: Try it for yourself.
