For the dough, in a bowl mix the yeast with the warm milk. Let it rest for 10 minutes. In a mixer, beat the flour with the sugar, salt, and eggs. Gradually add the hydrated yeast and beat until a firm and homogeneous dough is obtained. Add the butter and orange zest, continue kneading until integrated and have an elastic dough. Place the dough in a previously greased bowl, cover, and let it ferment for 1 hour or until it doubles in volume. For the crust, in a mixer at high speed, beat the butter with the powdered sugar and flour until you have a firm dough. Divide into 2 parts and add cocoa to one, beating until integrated. Between two rectangles of non-stick plastic, roll out the two flavors of crust to a thickness of 3mm. Cut with a 5 cm diameter cookie cutter and with a concha cutter or a knife, mark and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured surface, form small balls of dough weighing approximately 50 g. Place the vanilla and chocolate crust on top. Place the conchas in a pre-greased and floured 20 cm diameter circular mold, forming a ring, taking care to alternate the colors. Let it ferment for 15 more minutes or until they double in volume. Bake the ring for 20 minutes or until cooked. Remove from the oven, cool, and serve.

Tips

The concha dough is very soft, so it is not necessary to add too much flour to avoid drying out the bread and to maintain moisture. Remember not to overheat the crust of the concha too much, otherwise it will become too soft and you will not be able to stretch it.
