Crusty Cuban

I just got a breadmaker, without a manual, and I have never used one of these things in my life! Being new at this, I chose this recipe (as my first effort) for its simplicity of ingredients. The bread came out so true to its name - wonderfully crusty and very tasty! A huge thanks to the person who posted this recipe!
