MALLORCA BREAD
Mallorca bread, a beloved traditional Spanish pastry, is a true delight for the senses. This sweet, fluffy bread is often enjoyed as a breakfast treat or a midday snack. Its signature feature is the generous dusting of powdered sugar on top, which adds a touch of sweetness and a delightful contrast to the soft, pillowy texture of the bread.
