Mallorcas (Puerto Rican Sweet Bread)
Mallorcas are sweet (but not too sweet) rolls almost always consumed with mounds of confectioner’s sugar and a cup of cafe con leche. Of course, an exception to the rule is when they are cut in half and lavished with ham and cheese for an afternoon snack. I decided to turn this dough into cinnamon rolls.
