Mallorcas, also known as Mallorcan bread or Ensaïmada de Mallorca, are a traditional sweet pastry from the Balearic Islands, particularly from the island of Mallorca, Spain. They are characterized by their unique spiral shape and are often dusted with powdered sugar. Mallorcas are a popular breakfast food in Spain and are also enjoyed as a snack or dessert. The dough is typically made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and yeast, and is flavored with orange zest and anise. The pastry is then shaped into a spiral and baked until golden brown. Mallorcas can be filled with a variety of fillings, such as custard, chocolate, or fruit preserves.

I had this 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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

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

Categories     appetizer, dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 large buns

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 ounce dry yeast (1 package)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup lukewarm milk (110 to 115 degrees)
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional as needed
6 large egg yolks
4 ounces (1 stick) butter, melted, plus additional melted butter for brushing
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, granulated sugar, milk and 1 cup lukewarm water. Mix well, sprinkle with 1 cup flour, and mix again until smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until batter is risen and foamy, about 45 minutes.
  • By hand, or using a mixer, mix egg yolks into batter one by one until well blended. Gradually add remaining 4 cups flour. Add 4 ounces melted butter and mix until batter is very smooth. Cover and set aside in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Brush two baking sheets with melted butter. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Dust a work surface with flour, and divide dough into 12 portions. Shape each portion into a rope about 12 inches long, and brush lightly with melted butter. Coil gently but tightly to make a slightly rounded bun shape, tucking the inside end of the rope into the center of the bun, and the outside end under the bun. Place buns on baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Brush tops with butter, cover lightly, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover buns and bake until light golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and dust generously with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
