Cuban bread, also known as Pan Cubano, is a type of bread that originated from Cuba. This bread has a crispy crust on the outside and a soft, fluffy texture on the inside. The bread is perfect for sandwiches or can be served as an accompaniment to soup or salad. Using Kitchenaid to prepare this bread is effortless and only takes a short time, and the result is delicious bread that can be enjoyed by all.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix the yeast, warm water, sugar, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, or until frothy.
2.	Add bread flour in 1-cup increments to the yeast mixture, and knead for about 10 minutes using the Kitchenaid mixer's dough hook.
3.	Grease a mixing bowl with oil, then add the kneaded dough to the bowl and cover. Allow the dough to rise for one hour, or until it doubles in size.
4.	Punch down the dough and cut into two equal parts. Form these into long loaves, and place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
5.	Preheat your oven to 400°F, and allow the loaves to rise again for another 15 minutes. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
