What are Conchas?

Conchas are a type of sweet bread that is very popular in Mexico. They are characterized by their round shape and their unique topping, which consists of a sugary, crumbly mixture that is shaped like a shell. Conchas are commonly eaten for breakfast or as a snack, and they are often enjoyed with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Ingredients

To make conchas, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Making the Dough

To make the dough for your conchas, follow these steps:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add the softened butter, warm milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix everything together until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap.
  6. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Shaping the Conchas

Once your dough has risen, it's time to shape your conchas. Here's how:

  1. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  2. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly with your hand.
  3. Place the flattened dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Using a sharp knife, score the top of each piece of dough in a crisscross pattern to create the signature concha topping.
  5. Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Baking

Once your conchas have rested, it's time to bake them. Here's how:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Brush the top of each concha with a beaten egg wash.
  3. Sprinkle the sugary topping over the egg wash.
  4. Bake the conchas for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
  5. Allow the conchas to cool for a few minutes before serving.
