Mallorca Bread

I had this Mallorca bread at a Starbucks when I went to Puerto Rico and made it myself a few times. It is my favorite type of bread, with a fluffy consistency and an egg taste. Hope you like it too.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

  • ¼ cup warm water

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, divided

  • 3 egg yolks

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl, about 5 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, milk, sugar, 4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter, egg yolks, and salt. Mix well.

  2. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Turn dough out onto the surface and knead for 5 minutes, adding enough flour so that dough is not sticky.

  3. Grease a bowl with 1 teaspoon butter. Place dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let dough rise in a warm place for 50 minutes.

  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. 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. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  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.
