How to prepare a tasty Mallorca bread

Step 1 : In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the eggs, sugar, and melted butter, beating until well integrated.

Step 2 : In another large bowl, pour in the milk and water, sprinkle the yeast, and let it rest for one minute.

Step 3 : Add the yeast mixture to the egg mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 4 : In a large bowl, whisk together the salt and flour.

Step 5 : Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, one cup at a time, using a dough hook, and mix until you have a homogeneous dough.

Step 6 : Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead until smooth.

Step 7 : Transfer the dough to a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest on the counter for 2 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 8 : You can also refrigerate the dough and let it rest overnight.

Step 9 : Line two light aluminum baking pans with parchment paper (avoid dark pans to prevent the buns from browning at the bottom).

Step 10 : Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 11 : Generously dust a clean work surface with flour, turn the dough onto this surface, and dust again.

Step 12 : Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, roll into ½-inch ropes, and form rolled buns, tucking the ends underneath.

Step 13 : Place 6 rolls on each pan, lightly cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rest for another 45 minutes.

Step 14 : Using a pastry brush, gently brush the rolls with melted butter.

Step 15 : Bake for 20-25 minutes, until they start to turn golden.

Step 16 : Allow the buns to cool and then generously sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Step 17 : Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
