CONCHAS
Concha (Mexican sweet bread) is a breakfast or snack pastry found all over Mexico. It has a fluffy brioche-like dough with a crispy streusel topping, scored to resemble a shell. The pastry can come in a variety of colors and other shapes, but I prefer the plain and chocolate streusel. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon and 2 cups flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120° -130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, to make streusel, in a large bowl, beat butter, flour, sugar and vanilla until combined. Divide in half. Mix chocolate into 1 half; set aside. Punch down dough. Divide dough into 12 portions; form each into a 3-in. oval. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk egg with milk; brush over dough. Divide plain streusel into 6 portions; roll each into a 3-in. circle. Place over half the rolls. Repeat with chocolate streusel and remaining rolls. Using a sharp knife, cut through streusel on top of rolls to resemble a clamshell. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with remaining egg wash. Bake until tops are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

CONCHAS RECIPE
Among all the different kinds of traditional Mexican Pan Dulce ("sweet bread"), Conchas are without a doubt the most popular and recognizable. No other pan dulce is more representative of Mexico and its love of bread.

Steps:
- Have each ingredient ready and measured (by weight) before starting, and thoroughly read the notes above. Mix the all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer at medium speed, just to mix it well.
- Add the butter and mix well (using the stand mixer with the hook attachment), then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract and slowly pour the milk in little by little until the dough looks cohesive (you may need less or more milk, as some flours soak up more liquid than others). Keep beating the mixture for about 7 minutes at medium speed. Add a little more flour around the inside of the bowl (2-3 tablespoons), just enough for the dough to separate from the container. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- YOUR DOUGH SHOULD FEEL VERY SOFT AND ELASTIC.
- Place the dough on your floured working table and knead it just enough to shape it into a ball.
- Place this ball in a large greased bowl to rest. Cover it with plastic wrap (or wax paper) and a kitchen napkin. Let the dough rest in a warm place for about 2 hours until it doubles in size. I usually turn the light on in my oven and place the bowl inside, close to the light. Be aware that if your kitchen is cold, the dough will take longer to rise. Be patient and do not try to proceed to the next step until the mixture has doubled in size.

VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE CONCHAS
Conchas are better known as pan dulce or Mexican sweet bread. I scanned the Internet for the best conchas recipe and couldn't find one. So I took it upon myself to take pieces of 3 different recipes and put them together, with a couple alterations of course! Many recipes you see all have butter in the dough, but this recipe is traditional and uses lard. It will leave you with light pillows of sweetness that you will dream about while you sleep.

- Meanwhile, make topping dough. Beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Stir in flour until mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Divide into 2 equal parts. Stir cocoa powder into 1 part and vanilla extract into the other.
- Divide chocolate topping into 4 small balls; roll each piece into a flat circle. Repeat for the vanilla topping.
- Punch down concha dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; placed on a greased baking sheet. Place a vanilla or chocolate circle on each ball of dough, smoothing it over the top. Make 5 or 6 shallow cuts across the circle to form a shell pattern. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Steps:
- To make the dough: Heat the milk to 110 degrees F. Add the milk and yeast in the bowl of a heavy duty mixer. Let rest about 10 minutes. Add the flour, sugar, egg, salt, and vanilla and, using the dough hook, mix until well combined. Add the butter in 3 equal additions and mix until well combined. Knead in the mixer on low, about 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 1/4-ounce balls.;
- To make the topping: With an electric mixer, cream the lard and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, and vanilla and mix until combined. Roll out the topping on a floured surface into a thin sheet, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out circles that are large enough to cover the top of the dough balls.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Top each dough ball with a circle of topping and sprinkle them with sugar. Using the back of a pairing knife, scratch the image of a shell on the top of each concha. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Bake the conchas about 5 to 7 minutes.
CONCHAS (MEXICAN SWEET BREAD)
I got this recipe from my friends mom who owns a Mexican Bakery. When they made these one day for my family they loved them - even my brother who is sooo picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although they are a little time consuming it is well worth it at the end!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Mix in the milk, 3/8 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, salt, egg and half of the flour. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter to knead as soon as it pulls together enough.
- Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, and turn the dough to coat. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Make the topping while the dough rises. In a medium bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour until the mixture is the consistency of thick paste. Divide into two parts, and place one part in a separate bowl. Mix cinnamon into one half, and vanilla into the other half.
- When the dough is done rising, cut into 12 even-sized pieces. Shape into balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Divide each bowl of topping into 6 balls, and pat flat. Place circles of topping on top of the dough balls patting down lightly. Use a knife to cut grooves in the topping like a clam shell. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Add in flour, salt and cinnamon. Add warm milk and yeast mixture. Combine until a ball of dough forms. All this can be done by hand as well. Knead dough until an elastic ball forms about 5 minutes. Oil a large bowl with veg. oil and place dough in bowl cover with plastic wrap and put in warm place for 45 minutes to an hour until dough doubles in size.
- 2. In a bowl mix ingredients for topping. add Butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract and cinnamon if you want to. You can add food coloring or cocoa powder what ever you desire. For a paste and set aside. After an hour punch your dough down and form fifteen balls about the same size. Should be about the size of a base ball. Put balls on greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart because they have to rise again. Before they rise put topping on top. How you do it is divide topping into 15 small balls. Put a ball in your hand and squeeze with both your palms until it forms a small tortilla. Press down on top of dough balls this will give the conchas its shape. Repeat until you have done this 15 times. To make the design use a toothpick and do any design you want. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour in warm place covered with a damp towel or plastic wrap until they double in size.
- 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. place cookie sheets in the middle rack of. Make sure to be gentle so you don't deflate the dough when you put them in. Cook for 20 minutes take them out and let them cool. Enjoy them with coffee, milk, tea or hot chocolate. What ever you don't eat just keep covered with plastic wrap or in an air tight container but they are so good you might not have any left.
