I was actually thinking about a Cuban sandwich tonight, I'm from Tampa, the home of the cuban sandwich and I'm craving one! I can only get them (a real one anyway) when I go down to Florida and it's been a while.

I like simple sandwiches. Roast beef with lettuce, mustard, salt, and pepper on a baguette, or grilled cheddar cheese with tomato on sourdough. Of course a well made clubhouse is also pretty good. There is a local chain of restaurants, White Spot, that does a really good clubhouse.

Good Lord! Did you eat that in one sitting!
Yes I did. Photo was taken immediately after assembling. It squished down to an edible size pretty easily. There wasn't as much there as one would think. About a 1/4 beef patty.... not the 1/2lb or bigger in a burger joint. Then cheese, bacon, tomato slice, lettuce and onion rings. I think the onion rings makes it look bigger than it really was.
I don't get into the monster sandwiches people make all the fuss over. This was more an exercise to see if I could do it and whether or not it would be yummy..... and it was quite yummy. I have done a scaled down version a time or two since.
I have tried to make sandwich bread. Got sourdough, so gotta use it for something. What I've made has been decent. Just haven't found a recipe I've gone nuts over... yet.I make my own bread for sandwiches...

This one just out of the oven...
I cheat by using a bread maker to knead the dough. Then I take the dough, squeeze air out, put in greased pan and let it second rise and do as I wish. Sometimes a sesame seed bottom or top, sometimes cheese as in this case. Cheese is pressed in the top before second rise.
Here's the recipe...
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk plus 2 tbls
1 tbls oil
1 egg
2 tbls natural sugar
1tsp salt
3 1/3 cups flour. I use 1 cup Spelt, and 2 1/3 Whole wheat
2 tsp fast rise yeast
Bake for 28.5 minutes at 350
Looks yummy. May have to try this…. However. We don’t have a bread maker. I feel I’ve read where recipes are adjusted for a machine rather than dough mixed by hand.This one just out of the oven...

For me it’s not the assembly of the dough. Been making yeast bread/pizza since somewhere back in th 80s. Italian style bread. Got that nailed. Just not finding a recipe I’ve liked for sandwich type bread.

I get it... and that's why I went with the bread maker. It's consistent, and that is gold along with the reduction in labour...

The Joy of Cooking has a simple, delicious white sandwich bread recipe. I’ve used it as my basic recipe for years, and the bread is so good we’ve given it as gifts.
We have that cook book. Wedding present. And it's a good bet we've made the recipe you're referring to. As well as the Wheat bread recipe.
