On a Roll TD Entry - Cubano on Homemade Cuban Bread

[lunchman]

For the "On a Roll" throwdown - a Cubano Sandwich

First up, this morning. Make dough for Cuban Bread -

Let it rise in a greased bowl for a while -

and form two loaves. Let those rise again and score before going into the oven -

Voila! We have Cuban Bread -

The BBQ component of this entry is a Pork Roast which is seasoned with Oakridge Secret Weapon and grilled indirect on the 18" Weber -

The thin fat cap was left intact and scored to look pretty. After an hour it's done -

After the bread and the pork cooled a bit, let's get to building Cubano Sandwiches! Not authentic, but that's not the point of these. As long as they taste good, that's all that matters.

Slice me up some pork -

Mustard on one side, Mayo on the other. Layer Ham, Salami, Pork Slices, Swiss cheese, Pickles and Tomato on mine. My wife did her own thing, equally as impressive -

Dinner is served -

All in all, this was one excellent sandwich! And there was no way I could eat both halves, so there are plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.

The smell of bread baking this afternoon was intoxicating and I did all I could to avoid tearing into it prior to making these Cubanos. :biggrin1: But I resisted.

The pork was perfect and enhanced these to another level.

As mentioned, not authentic. But I don't care. I was simply in the mood for one of these and figured since there's a throwdown in progress, I'd give it a go.

Thanks as always for reading through to the end of this post. One of these pics will serve as the throwdown entry.

Go make yourself a Cubano.

Regards,

Another masterful creation, Dom! I am now in need of one of those beauties, and I will make it happen this week. Thanks for the inspiration (and the anxiety until I do).

I've never had one but now I want one.

Too bad I can't make bread.

Dom,


Great looking sammy. I'm trying to lose weight (although not as successful as I want, just a slow process rather than crash dieting) and all of these throwdowns are killing my will power. Like others, I've never had one, but think I need one in my life.

I've never had one but now I want one.

Too bad I can't make bread.

Craig, I can't make bread either, or have never attempted to make it. I'm thinking a good ciabatta bun (although check the carbs :shock::!::!::!: if you are watching those) would suffice for a good Cuban.


Thanks,


Robert

I’d be all over that sandwich,,,,,
When ur baking/ cooking the aroma in your neighborhood must be intoxicating !!!!

 

[Markov]

Looks fantastic, Cubano or not I love the additions!

You bread making guys and gals are way above my pay grade. Me and dough have never gotten along very well.

Awesome sammich Dom! And i hear you on the smell. I think the smell of fresh bread baking is probably better than meat smoking.
