How to Make Bread Machine Cuban Bread

  1. Combine warm water (105-115°F), sugar (1 tablespoon), and yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons) in your bread machine pan. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the oil (2 tablespoons), salt (1 1/2 teaspoons), and bread flour (3 cups) to the bread machine pan.
  3. Select the dough cycle on your bread machine. If your machine doesn't have a dough setting, select the basic bread setting and stop it before the baking cycle begins.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a rough rectangle.
  5. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. With a sharp knife or lame, score the top of the dough diagonally several times to create long, shallow cuts (approximately 1/4 inch deep). This allows for expansion during baking.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Cuban bread!
