The FB potluck dish I bring to your eyes is both a take on the Cuban pizza that you can find in the Miami/Key West area and the Cuban sub that you can get at pretty much any Publix; a favorite shopping center here in Florida, or as the locals call it, "FlorDUH." Where you own more flipflops than shoes, and shade over distance is gold in a parking space, unless you want to bake cookies on your dashboard.😂
I decided to go with Cuban food because not only is it delicious, it is part of Florida cuisine, at least in the more southern part of the state that is. I reside more up north around the nature coast/Gulf area, but went for this anyway 🙈
I wanted a cuban bread flavor for the pizza dough so I used this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/256967/chef-johns-cuban-bread/
And for the pizza, I used this as my guide line: https://ericasrecipes.com/2015/05/cuban-pizza/
Oh and if you think those are pickles as toppings, you'd be right; bread and butter pickles goes great on this pizza! Trust me. It is good!
..And I thought it only fitting to have this pizza with a glass of orange juice! (Note real oranges pictured here are dirty looking. The ones in the store are covered with too much makeup/wax and taste no where near the same)
Personaly though, I love freshly squeezed grapefruit juice even more, but I haven't gone over (yet) to pick a batch this year. An elderly couple my parents friends know has a big tree full of them, and they don't mind me taking the fruit off their hands!
Anyway, this was different, but delicious and fun! I look forward to seeing more of everyone's creations over the weekend!
