So I'm in the process of the Mallorca. Arguably the best sobrasada is made with porc negre (black pig), a native breed to the island of Mallorca. Look out for the food-truck "La Pickup" who are also well known for rustling up shredded. This is now my "go to" recipe for homemade white bread.

It is super easy and you cannot screw it up. Visiting my niece who lives on the island, I was told about the odd local mallorca savory sandwich with its powder. This sweet pan mallorca recipe is adapted from Yvonne Ortiz' fine cookbook, A Taste of Puerto Rico, but you could make it savory as they do at La Bombonera by stuffing each roll with ham and cheese. Pita bread is a staple in Middle Eastern food. This homemade pita bread recipe is simple, quick, and makes perfect pita bread every time!
