Recipes FAQ

  • Can I freeze my Mallorca bread?
  • Yes, you can freeze your bread for up to 1 month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Defrost at room temperature before reheating.

  • Can I use a different type of flour?
  • You can use bread flour or whole wheat flour, but the texture of the bread will be slightly different.

  • Can I make Mallorca bread without a stand mixer?
  • Yes, you can mix the dough by hand. It will take a bit more effort, but the result will be just as delicious.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your liquids are warm, but not too hot, or they will kill the yeast.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, use a wooden spoon to mix the dough until it becomes too difficult to stir. Then, use your hands to knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Don't skip the second rising time, as it helps the bread become lighter and fluffier.
  • You can brush the tops of your Mallorca bread with egg wash before baking to give them a shiny finish.
