1Making the Overnight Starter: Whisk together water, bread flour, and yeast in a small bowl until it’s all mixed up. Cover with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge overnight. 2Making the Bread: In a stand mixer with a dough hook, mix your package of active dry yeast, honey, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to wake up the yeast. 3Melt the Lard: Melt your lard in the microwave until it’s just melted, being careful not to overheat. 4Combine Dough Ingredients: Add the melted lard, salt, 2 cups of bread flour, and all your overnight starter to the mixer bowl. Mix on medium-low speed until everything is mixed well and the dough forms. 5Add Flour Gradually: You might need to add more flour, just do it a little bit at a time (like ¼ cup at a time). The dough shouldn’t be too sticky; it should pull away from the sides of the mixer when it’s all mixed in. 6Knead the Dough: Turn the mixer speed to medium-high and let it go for 3-5 minutes. This will make the dough nice and stretchy. 7First Rise: Once the dough’s done mixing, put it in a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover it up, and let it chill until it doubles in size. That’ll take about an hour. 8Prepare Pan and Shape: Get two baking sheets ready with parchment paper and a sprinkle of flour. 9Shape the Loaves: Put the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a big rectangle. Cut that rectangle in half lengthwise so you’ve got two long strips. Roll each strip into a long log shape, like a skinny baguette. Put both on the floured parchment-lined baking sheets. 10Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 11Second Rise: Cover the loaves and let them sit until they puff up a bit more, about 30-45 minutes. Lightly poke with a finger; if the poke springs back slowly, they’re ready. 12Score the Loaves: Sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the loaves and make a long cut down the middle of each one. 13Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, switching the pans halfway through. They should be a nice golden brown color. 14Cool and Serve: Let the loaves cool down before you slice into them. Enjoy your homemade Cuban bread!
