I cooked a pork roast in my crockpot and had leftovers so I decided to make a cuban sandwich with the pork. I only thought to take a picture of that sammie AFTER I had taken a big bite. Now this was a treat for me using this bread as I have been trying to watch my carbs as I am diabetic but I gave in and did enjoy so much and if you try it I hope you feel the same way as I did.. ummm umm good!
