In Spain, Miró’s Majorca (Mallorca)

Check out an article in the Travel section of the New York Times on Joan Miró, the Barcelona-born artist with an international following.

Mallorca is a beautiful island off the coast of the Iberian peninsula. I spent a long weekend in Palma, the capital city, two years ago with a group of friends. One friend is a native to the island or Mallorquin and was so gracious to be the tour guide for the group, showing us some of the beautiful sites, hidden beaches and overlooks.

    My Majorca dream!
    Posiblemente alguien este interesado en reproducir estas obras de arte mallorquinas que tan buen sabor tienen!

    1 pkg dry yeast
    3/4 cup white sugar
    4 to 5 cups all purpose flour, divided use
    1 cup milk, lukewarm
    1 cup water, lukewarm
    6 egg yolks
    1/2 lb. butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm

    In a mixing bowl, place the dry yeast, sugar, 1 cup of the flour, lukewarm milk, and water. Set aside until the mixture starts to rise about 45 minutes.

    Beat the egg yolks into the mixture, blending very well. Add the remaining flour little by little. If using a mixer, mixture should leave the sides of the bowl. Add the melted butter and set aside until it has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

    Dust the board where the dough will be rolled out with a little flour to prevent dough from sticking. Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll out each portion, brush with butter and roll into a long strip. Form into a coil, insert the inner end making sure it's tucked in, same with the other end of the roll. Butter top. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rolls rise until they have doubled in size.

    Bake at 375 degrees F about 12-15 minutes.

    Brush with butter, sprinkle with sugar, and individually wrap each roll in waxed paper.
    ENJOY!!!
