Mexican Sweet Bread Conchas

[Klaire_Desteen]

Hey there! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you my take on a classic Mexican sweet bread known as Conchas. These delightful treats hold a special place in my heart, as they remind me of my grandmother's kitchen and the joy of baking together.

Ingredients for the Dough:

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Ingredients for the Topping:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
2. Add the warm milk, eggs, and softened butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the topping by mixing together the softened butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract until crumbly. Add food coloring if desired.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal-sized portions.
7. Shape each portion of dough into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Flatten each ball slightly and top them with the prepared topping, pressing it gently into the dough.
9. Using a sharp knife, score the topping to create the traditional shell pattern.
10. Cover the conchas with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
11. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
12. Bake the conchas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
13. Allow the conchas to cool on a wire rack before serving.

They're perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon treat with a cup of coffee
