Mallorca Bread:
Soft Puerto Rican Sweet Bread Rolls
Ingredients:1 pkg dry yeast (1/4 oz)
½ cup milk, lukewarm
1½ cup water, lukewarm
8 egg yolks
¾ cup white sugar
2 sticks butter (1/2 lb.) + 1 stick for brushing, melted and cooled to lukewarm
6½ cups bread flour, plus more for flouring work surface
1 teaspoon salt
powder sugar
Directions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine, eggs, sugar, and melted butter, whisk until well combined.
- In another large bowl pour in milk and water, sprinkle in yeast and let sit for a minute.
- Add yeast mixture to egg mixture and whisk until well combined. In a large bowl whisk together salt and flour. Add flour mixture to the egg mixture one cup at a time, using a dough hook attachment. Mix until dough just comes together.
- Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead until tacky. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a kitchen cloth and let rise on the counter for 2 hours or until it doubles in size. The dough can also be refrigerated and rise overnight.
- Line two light aluminum sheet pans with parchment paper. (Do not use dark sheet pans because they will over brown the bottom of the rolls.)
- Generously flour a clean work surface, turn dough out on work surface, sprinkle with flour. Tear the dough into 12 even pieces. Roll the the dough pieces into ½-inch ropes. Shape the ropes into coiled buns, tucking the end under the bun.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place 6 rolls per sheet pan, loosely cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise another 45 minutes. Using a pastry brush gently brush rolls with melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they are just beginning to brown.
- Allow buns to cool, sift generously with powdered sugar. Enjoy with coffee!
