Mallorca Sweet Bread Recipe

Have you ever had Mallorca Sweet Bread from Starbucks? OMG... it is so soft...powdery...and a delicious sweet goodness! There really aren't any words to describe the taste of this, it's just something you have to experience it for yourself. Every time I go to Starbucks they're always out of it. It's their best selling item besides their coffee and they never have enough of it on hand.

After tasting it for the first time, I decided that I was going to find out this recipe and try to make it myself. It is a bit time consuming, however, it's worth it!  I am sharing the recipe with all of you so that you too can enjoy the sweet soft goodness of Mallorca Sweet Bread.
