Categories     Dessert

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons dried active yeast
200 ml 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons lukewarm milk
110 g 1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
450 g 3 cups bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
1/4 teaspoon salt
200 g 7 ounces salted butter, cubed
Powdered sugar (to dust)

Steps:

  • Whisk the yeast, milk, and one teaspoon of the sugar together in a bowl and leave until frothy (about five minutes).
  • Put half of the flour into a separate mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Slowly pour in the milk-yeast mixture and stir with a fork to form a shaggy dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and leave in a warm spot for about an hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • When the dough has doubled, punch down to deflate. Add the eggs to the dough and use a fork or your hands to combine. Do the same thing with the sugar, and then the remaining flour. Knead for around 5 minutes and form a ball. Cover again and leave to prove for 30-45 minutes in a warm place.
  • When ready, lightly flour a large board or another workspace. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about an 18-inch square. Working quickly, use a knife to spread the butter evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough up from the bottom of the square to the top, and slice into rounds that are about 1-inch thick. Transfer to a plate.
  • Lightly re-flour your workbench. Using your hands, roll out each individual round of dough into a long rope shape. Then shape each rope into the traditional snail-shell coil of the ensaimada.
  • Line baking trays with parchment paper, and put the ensaimadas on top (leave plenty of space as the pastry will expand). Leave to rise until dough has doubled again in size (at least 3-8 hours, you can leave overnight).
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. Leave to cool for at least 20 mins, and then dust with powdered 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.

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

3 egg yolks
¾ teaspoon salt

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

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any last-minute scrambling.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, local, and organic ingredients.
  • Season Your Food Well: Don't be afraid to season your food liberally. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also experiment with other spices and herbs to create complex flavors.
  • Cook Low and Slow: Many Mallorcan dishes are cooked low and slow, which allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking meat, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam rather than sear.
  • Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: Mallorcan cuisine features a variety of cooking methods, including grilling, roasting, baking, and stewing. Experiment with different methods to find the one that best suits each dish.

Conclusion:

Mallorcan cuisine is a delicious and diverse culinary tradition that offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a hearty stew, a refreshing salad, or a sweet dessert, you're sure to find something to your liking. So next time you're in the mood for something new, give Mallorcan food a try. You won't be disappointed.
