I thoroughly enjoy recipes that are both very delicious and very easy. So today I'm going to share one of the recipes that has been given a "star" for both categories by all in our household. Today's recipe is for

Cuban Bread
5-6 cups flour (2 c whole & 3 c white works great)
2 T. yeast
2 T. sugar
1 T. salt

Mix ingredients together. Pour 2 cups of warm water over dry ingredients.
Mix in your mixer for 5 minutes.
Let rest 5 minutes.
Form into a loaf. Place loaf on greased cookie sheet.
On bottom rack, place 9x13 pan half-full of boiling water.
Put bread into the cold oven. Turn oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 40-50 min.

The result is a terrific tasting bread with a great crust - it's a little like french bread. One of the things I really love about this recipe - besides the fact that it's super fast - is that it's also super versatile. I halved this recipe and made two soup bowls for dinner last week. Yum. Last night for the super bowl I made half the recipe to go with our hot spinach dip. Super yum. The possibilities are limitless.
