Mallorca Bread

Servings:

I first tried Mallorca bread at a Starbucks in Puerto Rico and loved it so much that I started making it myself. It's my favorite bread—soft, fluffy, and rich with a delicate eggy flavor. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl, about 5 minutes. Add flour, milk, sugar, 4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter, egg yolks, and salt. Mix well.
  2. 2 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour a little at a time until dough is no longer sticky.
  3. 3 Grease a bowl. Add dough, cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for 50 minutes.
  4. 4 Grease a 9-inch square baking pan and set aside. Lightly punch dough down and knead on a lightly floured surface into an 18x9-inch rectangle. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  5. 5 Roll dough up snugly from 1 short end and cut into 9 slices, trimming ends to make neat. Place slices in the prepared baking pan, cut side-up. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and put in a warm place for 40 minutes.
  6. 6 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. 7 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and dust with confectioners' sugar.
