Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1/2 teaspoon sugar; set aside.

Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, oil and cold water. Add yeast mixture. Stir in flour. Knead 10 minutes. Let rise until double. Divide dough in half and roll into 2 (12”x15”) rectangles. Roll up (jelly roll style) starting with the 15” side. Place on greased cookie sheet. Using a knife, slash the top of each loaf 4 to 5 times. Let rise approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Fold in the short sides, then the long sides. Place the folded sides down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops and sides with melted butter or oil (about 1½ to 2 tablespoons).

Cuban Sandwich

Julie Gockley, Ephrata
“While stationed with the Air Force in Tampa, our search for hoagies yielded only Cuban Sandwiches. Grew to love them, and now make them here.
Our favorite place to get them was the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City.”

  • 1½ loaves Cuban bread
  • mustard and butter
  • ¾ lb. baked ham, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb. barbecued or roast pork
  • ¼ lb. thinly sliced Swiss cheese
  • ¼ lb. Italian salami, thinly sliced
  • lengthwise slices of dill pickle

Cut Cuban bread in 6 pieces, 8 inches long. Split lengthwise and spread mustard on one piece and butter on the other. Divide ham, pork, Swiss cheese, salami and pickle among the six sandwiches, arranging in layers on the bread. Wrap each sandwich in a paper napkin and secure with a toothpick. Flavor is improved by warming in the oven before serving. Serves 6.
