History
There is some debate about the true source of "real" Cuban bread, with both Miami and Tampa, Florida claiming to be the home of the best. However, it's true that the first bakery to bake Cuban bread in the U.S. was most likely La Joven Francesca Bakery in Ybor City, the Latin Quarter of Tampa. In 1896, La Joven was established by Sicilian baker, Francisco Ferlita. This bakery sold bread for 3 to 5 cents a loaf, mainly to the Ybor City market.[1] This article is about the city in Florida. ...

Old Ferlita (La Joven Francesca) Bakery, now Ybor State Museum, Ybor City, Tampa The bakery was destroyed by fire in 1922, leaving only the brick bread oven standing. Francisco rebuilt the bakery even larger than before, adding a second oven, and it became a major supplier of bread for the Tampa/Ybor area. The bakery also became a place to congregate, drink a good cup of Cuban coffee, and catch up on the local news.[2] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

The La Segunda Bakery ('The Second' as La Primera 'The First' burned down long ago) is currently the major producer of Cuban Bread for the Tampa area. It was founded by Juan Morè, who migrated to Tampa, FL, and opened La Primera (The First) Bakery in 1915 . [6]
Characteristics A traditional loaf of Cuban bread is approximately three feet long and somewhat rectangular crossways (as compared to the rounder shape of Italian or French bread loaves). It has a hard, thin, almost papery toasted crust and a soft flakey middle.[7] In the early days, the dough was stretched thin to make it last, creating the bread's distinctive air pockets and long shape. As they have for decades, La Segundo and other traditional Cuban bread makers lay a long, moist palm frond on top of the loaves before baking, creating a shallow trench in the upper crust. (The frond is removed before eating, of course.) Genera Many; see list of Arecaceae genera Arecaceae or Palmae (also known by the name Palmaceae, which is taxonomically invalid. ...

Cuban bread should be eaten soon after baking, as it tends to go stale quickly. (In Ybor City, it was said that after 24 hours, Cuban bread is only good for breading a deviled crab.)
