About Cuban bread

Cuban bread is a traditional staple of Cuban cuisine with roots tracing back to Tampa, Florida, and Cuban-American communities. This flat, slightly dense white bread is made from simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, yeast, and a touch of lard, which gives it its soft texture and distinctive flavor. Known for its crisp, golden crust and airy interior, Cuban bread is often enjoyed in sandwiches like the iconic Cuban sandwich or toasted with butter for breakfast. While it's low in sugar, making it a lighter alternative to sweeter breads, its refined flour and inclusion of lard mean it lacks whole grains and contains saturated fats. Moderation is key for a balanced diet when indulging in this delicious cultural favorite.
