I stopped trying after my 1 pound bread weighs about 4 pounds, I guess I'm not good at bread, but if someone has a recipe I would love to try again...

I'm visiting my family in PR and my brother has a "panaderia" so I'll be on the lookout even though I've had many failed attempts since the recipes are huge but now I know more about baking so I'll be spying around LOL

Speak, yes...write...not so much! LOL! I know it's sad.

That's crazy. I love how I can be across the country and find people that are from around the block. You're in PR now? I'm sooo jealous.

No, I'm from the Bronx. Mami is from San Lorenzo, my father is from New Jersey. DH was born and raised in Rio Piedras, and his family adopted me when we got married so I spend more time with them than with my own family. How'd you get to Michigan? My DH is in the Army so we're always being bumped around.

Got a loaf in the oven. Dough turned out pretty good, smells right, just have to wait til my official taste tester comes home to know if it's right or not. If so, I'll pass along the recipe.

Ohhhhh! Is it one of those that take several hours? I'll try it on Father's day if it's good (as a surprise of course)...

Yep 24 hours for the "pie" and about 3 hours total to make the dough. I'd reduced the salt from the original recipe and added more sugar (I already made those changes in the following recipe). I also brushed the loaf with milk before I put it in the oven, and I covered it with a towel right when I pulled it out of the oven so the crust wouldn't get hard. But I didn't tell DH what I was giving him to taste and as soon as he put it in his mouth he shouted, "Pan sobao!" and told me I'm officially the best wife in the world! LOL!
Here's the recipe I used:

Pan Cubano
receta de Sonia Martinez

Pre-fermentación
3/4 cucharadita de levadura (active dry yeast)
1/3 taza de agua tibia
1/3 taza de harina de pan (bread o all-purpose flour)

El dia antes de hacer el pan.. disuelva la levadura en el agua tibia. Luego agregas la harina y lo mezclas bien para formar una pasta. Lo cubres bien con plástico y lo guardas en la nevera por 24 horas.

Para la masa de pan:
4-1/2 cucharaditas de levadura ( o 2 sobres de active dry yeast)
2 cucharadas de azúcar
1-1/2 tazas de agua tibia
3 a 4 cucharadas de manteca de cerdo o si prefieres, manteca vegetal, a temperatura
1/2 de la mezcla pre-fermentada, a temperatura
1 1/2 cucharaditas de sal
4 1/2 tazas de harina de pan (bread o all-purpose flour)

Disuelva la levadura en 3 cucharadas de agua tibia con el azúcar en un bowl de la maquina. Cuando la mezcla espume (5 a 10 minutos), le agregas la manteca, el resto del agua y la mitad de la biga que fue preparada el dia antes.

Usando el gancho de amasar, lo mezclas mientras que le Agregas 3 1/2 tazas de harina y la sal. Suba la maquina a velocidad 2 y lo amasas por 6 minutos (10 minutos si lo estas amasando a mano). La masa debe estar suave blanda y lisa, pero no pegajosa. Echa mas harina si es necesario para que no quede pegajosa la masa.

Engrasas un bowl con manteca vegetal y echas la bola de masa, dando una vuelta para que tenga una poca de manteca por encima. Cubra el bowl bien con plástico y lo dejas fermentar en un lugar tibio por 1 hora (debe doblar en tamaño). Retire la masa del bowl y sobre una mesa harinada, lo amasas por 1 minuto para sacarle los gases. Divida la masa en 3 porciones iguales y le das la forma a los panes, de 14 pulgadas de largo.

Usando 2 placas de hornear, le colocas los panes (a mi me gusta usar el silpat para esto). Los cubres con un paño limpio y lo dejas subir en un lugar tibio por 1 hora.

Pre-calienta el horno a 400 F. Usando la botella de spray, mojas las paredes del horno un poco. Despues de 1 minutos, vuelves a mojar las paredes para crear vapor en el horno..

Cuando vayas a echar los panes en el horno, usando la navaja, le haces un corte a lo largo de los panes, no muy profundo. Cueza los panes hasta que esté dorados y suenen huecos cuando le dés con el dedo, como 18 minutos.

Poga los panes cocidos sobre una parrilla a refrescarse por 1 hora antes de cortarlos (hay que tener mucha paciencia, porque huelen riquisimo).
