It is important to have unbleached bread flour. I have used bleached AP flour and unbleached AP flour, but unbleached bread flour works best and makes the softest bread. Also, make sure you give yourself time to make this bread, it is almost an all-day process. But worth every minute.
You may be wondering, Is there really a difference between AP flour and bread flour? The answer is yes! It’s all about the gluten. Bread flour has more gluten than AP flour which is why it’s ideal when making bread. Gluten is what gives the bread an airy light texture.

If you’re not a regular bread maker you probably don’t always have bread flour on hand or want to buy a 5 lb bag to use once in a blue moon.

You now have bread flour.
Now if don’t have the time to order gluten additive to make bread flour you can use AP flour. It will not ruin your rolls. They may not rise as high or be as fluffy but they will still be delicious.

Pan De Mallorca (puerto Rican Sweet Rolls)
Pan de mallorca is the ultimate sweet bread recipe. It’s perfect to have sliced and buttered with a cup of coffee in the morning. By the following day, the powder sugar melts into the bread, and it is perfect for making a savory grilled sandwich with ham and cheese.
I like to slice the roll and toast it in a skillet with coconut butter it cut side down. Then I make the ham and cheese sandwich and toast both sides in a skillet. It is divine!I kid you not it almost taste like french toast.
Now if you will excuse me, I have a soft roll and a cup of coffee to tend to. If you are looking for more sweet dough treats try this Spanish hot chocolate with coconut churros, pan de queso con guava (cheese and guava bread) or some classic quesitos.
