If a loaf of bread goes wrong, everyone is responsible, even if there is a boss.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith the aim of creating a unique enterprise, we began to call everyone and we found two great master bakers who have helped us a lot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1252px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-1.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1252\" height=\"1898\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Ovens and flours<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Josep Antoni Ribas is one of the most important master bakers in Spain. Since 1978 he has worked in the bread sector; he studied engineering, but he combined the two professions because his father had already ventured into dealing with ovens and flours. Of Spanish origin but internationalized thanks to bread, he currently lives in Costa Rica and his main destination is Central America, where he gives lectures and consultancies. He will soon open his academy in Panama to train bakers from around the world. But before that he has focused his energies on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pan de La Habana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is not my first time in Cuba, but this time it is in a professional capacity; I came to work,\u201d says Antoni Ribas as he explains what the business will be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-21.jpg\" alt=\"Josep Antoni Ribas during the training.

Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThree bakers make the preparations with the recipes that are already predefined. At first we focused on small pieces to give to taste and check that the recipes were well applied or if they needed more salt or more or less time in the oven. There was a lot of learning during those days.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antoni brought all the technology from Barcelona. They are the same machines that he has operated for more than three decades and that are now assembled in Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The humidity on the island, so typical of its climate, has not prevented the recipes and the waiting and cooking times from being made like a booklet, and that has been thanks to the conditions that have been achieved in the bakery, as they have air-conditioned storage, which facilitates the extraction of moisture from the flour with excellent conservation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are going to apply the same methods that we apply there [in Spain], with breads with long fermentation, without any additives. Everything is natural bread with sourdough, flour, water, salt and very little yeast; we work with ten times lower doses than normal, that is why we have more pronounced bread flavors, because yeast usually kills the taste of bread.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But like any big project, there are always details to watch out for, so that they do not become problems. \u201cThe containers do not have an exact arrival date. Even if it is planned for one day, it can be delayed and that affects the production chain. That is why we have guaranteed a stock that allows us to make up for this delay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-22.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1394\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Sourdough<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe flours come a little depleted at the time of fermentation and that is due to the fortification itself. We use Spanish flours that do not have any type of additive inside, so we are getting the authentic wheat flavor out well. We want the bread to taste like bread; for this we bring flour from the largest flour mill in Spain and its quality is optimal and recognized worldwide, we use top-quality raw materials, it is a process that needs to be the best,\u201d says Antoni Ribas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sourdough is a culture of bacteria that is created. There are various methods, but the most traditional is based on apples. They are cut and left to ferment in water. After five days, the fermented water is used to make the first dough, using the same amount of water as flour.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-24.jpg\" alt=\"Josep Antoni Ribas: \u201cWe want the bread to taste like bread.\u201d Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Josep Antoni Ribas: \u201cWe want the bread to taste like bread.\u201d Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antoni Ribas explains the process of making sourdough like a teacher in a chemistry class, but with more passion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The master baker has explained the same process to each of the bakery workers, not only those who will make the bread, but also those who store the flour, those who will sell it, those in marketing, and himself, so as to never forget that sourdough bread is the best in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the workers at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pan de La Habana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> know what they will sell, they know that this \u201cnew product\u201d helps digestion and strengthens intestinal flora, they also know how to explain that at the level of inputs it is cheaper and what makes it more expensive is the preparation due to the cost of personnel and time: it is an artisan bread!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe know that, in addition to making good bread, we have to promote the culture of consumption of customers, so that they know what they are buying,\u201d explains Antoni Ribas, convinced that the genetic and cultural charge of consuming bread will be on their side.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-16.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1212\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>The perfect team work<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to making bread, the young people who have joined <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pan de La Habana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> learned about nutrition, about the history of each bread, about how flours are made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBrioche dough is not a common bread dough, it is for making sweet breads, with an enriched dough that has more egg, more sugar and other ingredients that provide more in nutritional terms, and give greater softness. \u201cIt is more artisanal in the production process,\u201d says Enrique, one of the assistants who has learned with the master bakers in the training days prior to opening to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teamwork in a bakery is essential. The assistants play an essential role in lightening the workload, so it is important that they know the specifics of each process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enrique is very clear about it: \u201cmy job consists above all in helping to prepare the dough, in keeping things clean, in having the ingredients ready for each recipe, in making sure that nothing is missing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-17.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cI only saw these things in videos; now I can make them myself.\u201d Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1297\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cI only saw these things in videos; now I can make them myself.\u201d Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it is not just about bread. Pastries are the other attraction, so they have had to look for personnel with experience in this area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">L\u00e1zaro Didier has always been a confectioner. \u201cBefore I worked for the State and then in private confectioneries, but now this is another level. The difference is notable, first in the conditions under which one works, with a large and perfectly clean production area, with all the instruments that you need to work, with the raw materials that you dreamed of, and that translates into the good results of the final preparation. I only saw these things in videos; now I can do them myself. And if you also have a teacher in front of you, you can learn it better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the recipes that they are offering are new, prepared by master bakers from Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDiscipline is fundamental in an undertaking like this,\u201d confesses L\u00e1zaro, \u201cand, unfortunately, we come with bad habits from other sectors. In Cuba, a lot of work has been done out of necessity. You have to guarantee the day to day, so sometimes the common sense or sense of belonging is lost when something belongs to the State, which, as it has few resources, is done as it comes, but here it is not like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-15.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>A unique bread<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antoni Ribas did not come to Havana alone.

The team was completely open to learning, and they know me from social media. They were waiting and wanting to acquire that knowledge, change the ways they worked before and incorporate new routines,\u201d Pascual confesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI reinvent the recipes in every part of the world. No one does it the same way, so I study the culinary customs of each territory, to somehow understand how they eat bread, at what time and what it is accompanied with. Then you have to modify the recipes to satisfy the needs and expectations of each territory, but without losing the nutritional guarantee or the aesthetics. I already knew Cuba, so it was much easier for me to adapt to the Cubans, and I am fascinated by the culture of this country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-18.jpg\" alt=\"Josep Pascual shows the camera a loaf of bread that has just come out of the oven.

Here we began to think about something unique, not only in how the bread is made, but also in quality, because it happens in many countries that when there is a crisis, prices go up and quality goes down. That is a mistake,\u201d says the owner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy idea is to make quality bread that is relatively inexpensive; but I can\u2019t give away the work because all the raw materials are brought from Spain, even the salt, and that costs a lot. I know that this line of bread is for people with a high purchasing power; that is why we have a more economical line, to reach everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-19.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1120\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laura has not only thought about offering bread for all budgets, but she is also helping with food for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba\/sociedad-cuba\/sistema-de-atencion-a-la-familia-saf-menos-platos-sobre-la-mesa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>SAF (Family Care System)<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adjacent to her establishment. \u201cAfter many procedures, they have authorized me and we are collaborating with what we produce, for the moment. We are giving our bread several times a week. We also collaborate with food on special occasions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNow in Cuba there are many MSMEs. I believe that if we all put in our two cents, we can help a lot. It is true that enterprises have to be profitable, that they were created to make money, but there has to be a social contribution. If your environment is good, you are good. At this time we have to be a single country. But for that the government has to trust in small and medium-sized companies, because SMEs anywhere in the world are the ones that carry the weight of the economy. We need more support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/pan-de-la-habana-13.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Lilian Cid.\u00a0\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lilian Cid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>The favorite bread<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pan de La Habana<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will be another venture with many challenges ahead in today\u2019s Cuba.
