The best sandwich that’s ever come out of my kitchen was the reason for that beautiful Cuban bread recipe.
Our son lives in Southern Florida plus we had our first experience with Miami Cuban food shortly after he moved there.
We fell in love with their authentic Cubano sandwich, plus I set out on a quest to make a Miami Cuban sandwich recipe from my own kitchen. (If you are looking at a local menu, Cuban restaurants generally call this sandwich a Cubano Sandwich.) Since first making my Cuban Sandwich recipe I’ve learned that there is also a Cuban sandwich called a Cuban Medianoche sandwich. The recipe that we used is featured in the cookbook “Three Guys From Miami Cook Cuban by “The Three Guys” from Miami.
They use the Medianoche bread plus call it a Cuban Sandwich but technically it could be a Medianoche. After much debate, we made our Cuban Sandwich on Cuban bread instead of Medianoche rolls. I’m just the cook so if you’re passionate about the difference, take it up with the pros!, In the meantime, you’ll need to make the bread to build the best Cuban Sandwich ever.
