This bread machine Cuban bread is a simple, lean loaf that bakes up with a lightly crisp crust and a soft, sliceable center. It’s made with everyday pantry ingredients, runs on the French or Basic cycle, and works beautifully for sandwiches, toast, and garlic bread.
Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.
Select French or Basic/White cycle and start the machine.
During the first knead, check dough consistency. If the dough looks dry/crumbly or the machine sounds like it’s straining, add 1–2 tablespoons water, one tablespoon at a time.
When baking is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and cool on a wire rack until completely cooled before slicing.
