Mini Conchas
Sairus Black
The Concha is a sweet bread originating from Mexico, consisting of a sponge-like bread with a cover of lard or butter mixed with sugar, which is baked with the bread and gives it a very sweet crunchy coating. Usually, the cover is grated into squares and flavored with chocolate or vanilla. They are often accompanied by chocolate drinks such as Champurrado or an atole.

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sift the flour onto a table and make a well in the center. In the center of the flour, add salt, yeast, and mix well until fully incorporated. Add the butter and knead until well integrated, then add the eggs one by one until you have a homogeneous mixture. Incorporate the powdered sugar and liquid vanilla. When you have a uniform, smooth, and soft dough, let it rest for about 30-40 minutes in a warm place. Form balls of the desired size and roll them, let them rest on the tray, and add the sweet topping. Bake at 180°C for 20-40 minutes or until the bread is golden.
  • Procedure for the sweet topping of the conchas At room temperature, add the powdered sugar and flour to the vegetable lard until a homogeneous and manageable dough is formed. If the dough is to be chocolate, add cocoa powder until perfectly incorporated. If it is to be vanilla, add a splash of vanilla and a little desired food coloring. Form balls and flatten with your hand like a tortilla, place on top of the bread, and mark with a concha stamp. Place on the concha before resting so that when the dough inflates, the mark opens.
