  • Heat the water without bringing it to a boil. Make a volcano with the flour and half of the sugar.
  • Dissolve the yeast in ¼ cup of hot water.
  • Incorporate the flour, half of the margarine, and 2 eggs until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  • Knead the mixture, then let it rest covered with a damp cloth for about 1 hour.
  • On the other hand, mix the sugar, flour, eggs, margarine, and milk.
  • After achieving a homogeneous dough, mix the two doughs.
  • Place the dough in the container and cover it with a damp cloth.
  • Let the dough rest for 3 hours or until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
  • In a bowl, place the powdered sugar, shortening, and flour, and mix well.
  • Divide the mixture and add the teaspoon of vanilla to one half and the melted chocolate to the other half.
  • When the dough has doubled in size, knead and divide into balls of approximately 30 grams, giving them a circular shape.
  • Grease the trays, placing the balls with a 5 cm separation.
  • Brush the balls with the egg white. Top with a layer of the vanilla or chocolate paste, using a knife to divide the mixture into squares.
  • Let the conchas rest for about 1 hour to double in size.
  • Bake the conchas for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, wait for them to cool and serve with a delicious hot chocolate.
