Good stuff. Made these this past weekend. The bread was very tasty and a lot of fun to make. I'm always amazed that such bland ingredients can come together in wonderful ways. I kept the sandwiches "authentic" and served them with dipping sauces, which went over really well. I love the recipes on this site -- every one I've tried has become a keeper. Mmmmm. Good stuff.

That's how I grew up eating them. Next time try adding some crumbled chorizo on top of your last layer (cheese) on your Cuban sandwich. That’s how I grew up eating them.

I also saw the comment about you closing tomorrow. OH NO! My sister, who lives in Iowa, is heading your way and plans to stop at your store this coming weekend. Will you be open? She loves, loves, loves King Arthur stuff and orders it online. I gave her a gift certificate for her birthday this year and she is so eagerly looking forward to her pilgrimmage to your store. Will you be open? She would be absolutely crushed if you were not. This was going to be the highlight of her vacation. <strong>Never fear, we're open today - we were just closed for about 24 hours while we had new flooring installed. Your sister will love it - we'll be al spiffed up by the time she gets here! - PJH</strong> I can buy some fairly authentic lard here in NC but for ease will try using the grocery store lard.

I am definitely making these later this week. Thank you so much for this recipe! I've always wanted to try a Cubano. I am now off to see if I can order one of your 8 cup measuring cups. I have wanted one since Mary introduced me to your blog. Hope you ship to Canada! Oh my gosh…. I am definitely making these later this week. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Inspiration has struck and I know what I'm making with whatever leftover pork might roll my way. Don't see why I couldn't grill/flatten the sandwich bun later on...

Right now we're in Ira (outside of Rutland) visiting our oldest daughter, son-in-law, and two of our six grandkids! This daughter is a professional baker with a BIG kitchen, so she whipped up a batch of Cuban bread; however, no one had fresh lard, so we had to make do with the stuff in the box......but it DID taste just like the bread we can get in FL. Will be making another batch to take to our youngest daughter's house where we "pig out" on the full-blown Cuban meal! Just the finishing touch we've been missing!! Will be making our annual pilgrimage to King Arthur one day during the first two weeks of August, accompanied by our second daughter and son-in-law who have never had the pleasure of visiting the "shrine of baking"! Thanks again for the Pan Cubano!! <strong>Neat - glad you tried the lard version and it was what you'd hoped for. Enjoy those sandwiches! As we "speak," our store is undergoing a major renovation - new flooring, new layout, etc. We'll be closed tomorrow, then will be a week or so getting up to speed, but by the time you arrive, the "new shrine" should be awesome!
