Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread) Recipe

Conchas are an  authentic Mexican yeast bread. They are a sweet bread that are tender  and delicious and perfect for breakfast or at any meal.

INGREDIENTS

– active dry yeast – white sugar – warm water  – unsalted butter – evaporated milk

STEP 1

In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water.  Mix in the  evaporated milk, sugar, melted butter, salt, egg and half of the flour.  Gradually mix in the remaining flour and cinnamon.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the  dough is smooth and pulls together, 6 to 8 minutes. Put into a lightly  greased bowl, turning once to coat both sides.

STEP 2

Cover and allow to rise at room temperature until doubled, approximately 1 to 1-1/2 hours. While bread rises, make the topping.

STEP 3

In an electric mixing bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour until it resembles a thick paste but not crumbly. Divide into two bowls.

STEP 4

Mix cinnamon into one-half and vanilla into the other half. Set aside. When the dough has risen, cut into 12 even-sized pieces and shape into balls.

STEP 5

Place dough balls onto two parchment paper-lined (or greased) baking  sheets, 3 inches apart. Pat flat and place circles of topping on top of  each, patting down lightly.
