Sweet bread "Concha" from Mexico!

[Exnem]

This sweet bread is one of the typical breads from mexico. It's called "concha" which means shell, obviously because of it's appearance.

It's a very fluffy bread and is specially good for dunking in hot chocolate or coffee :P mmmm....

Another thing of yours that looks more real than the actual food. Thanks!

[jas]

Yay! I loved to eat these for breakfast when I was a baby... Or in kindergarten. Whatever. :P

[kitcat]

sound great!!! :D

We call them "pan de huevos". I loved them. But with ours, you could see the shredded cinnamon sticks. They were great to eat while walking to school (well ... running actually).
Thank you. You have brought back many fond memories. I will subscribe again when I have money.

You don't happen to have the actual recipe for these, do you? They look muy delicioso! (And that's about the extent of my Spanish)

Pan Dulce (Sweet Bread)
Dough
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 package dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon salt

Combine the 2/3 cup milk, shortening and butter in a saucepan. Heat just enough to melt the shortening and butter, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. At this point stir in the beaten eggs. Heat the 1/3 cup milk until it is just room temperature and stir in the yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Allow the mixture to sit until bubbles form on the surface, about 10 minutes, then stir it into the milk and egg mixture.

Meanwhile, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Next, stir in the yeast and milk and egg mixture to make a medium dough, one that is not too damp or too dry, adding flour or water as needed. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes or process it in a food processor for 40 seconds. Lightly grease the dough, place it in a dish, cover it with a damp towel, and allow it to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

While the dough is rising cream together the topping ingredients.

After the dough has risen, divide it into 16 balls, then roll balls into circles about 3 inches in diameter and place them on baking sheets. Brush each dough circle with a mixture of 1 egg white and 2 tablespoons water, then cover them with a thin layer of the topping. At this point you may leave the topping as is or cut designs such as parallel lines into it with a thin knife. Next, drape a damp towel over the rolls and allow them to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes. Bake about 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 375 degrees F.

Topping
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
2 egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

We use stick cinnamon and more like 1 1/2 teaspoons grind it with the Mortar and Pestle or coffee grinder (or blender if you mix with the milk)

Now you are almost teaching me new kinds of food! I have never hear of "Concha" before. And it looks very real, great work again my king of food-creating

[Kitty Demonika]

A concha! It looks incredible and the textures are so realistic. Reminds me of the yonder days when my Mami took me to the panadería to get conchas after church. ^_^

[justamyth]

Thanks again! And yeah, they do look good. I might have to try them sometime. Thanks for the recipe also, Tavias.

[Kinako]

I love conchas! They're so good!

[amar_el7ob]

OMG, I used to eat this when I was a child! I grew up in Texas with some Mexican in my family and my family makes a lot of Mexican food. When I go to Texas this summer, I will be sure to eat some sweet bread.
