Thanks very much for all the kind comments.
To those who might be intimidated by bread making, I say give it a try. You'll be amazed at what you turn out. This recipe is from Cook's Country and their website now requires a trial or paid subscription. For those who prefer it, look for their series on YouTube. I found it easy to follow. This is one of the easier bread recipes I've made.
Part of it says to make an overnight sponge with flour, water and yeast. I normally would do so, but for these loaves I let the sponge sit on the counter for about 45 minutes. No reason to let it sit overnight.
As an added bonus, some additional pics from lunch today! I probably should have made loaded up sammies like this yesterday. :biggrin1:
I think Cubanos are normally pressed, but once the sandwich is made there's no way I'm waiting any longer to run out to the Blackstone and press it flatter. I'm just digging in. :grin:
