CONCHAS
Concha (Mexican sweet bread) is a breakfast or snack pastry found all over Mexico. It has a fluffy brioche-like dough with a crispy streusel topping, scored to resemble a shell. The pastry can come in a variety of colors and other shapes, but I prefer the plain and chocolate streusel. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon and 2 cups flour. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter to 120° -130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs; beat on high 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, to make streusel, in a large bowl, beat butter, flour, sugar and vanilla until combined. Divide in half. Mix chocolate into 1 half; set aside. Punch down dough. Divide dough into 12 portions; form each into a 3-in. oval. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk egg with milk; brush over dough. Divide plain streusel into 6 portions; roll each into a 3-in. circle. Place over half the rolls. Repeat with chocolate streusel and remaining rolls. Using a sharp knife, cut through streusel on top of rolls to resemble a clamshell. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. Brush rolls with remaining egg wash. Bake until tops are lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Add the milk to a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave in 10-second intervals until the milk reaches 110-115°F (43-46°C). Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast to the milk and whisk to incorporate. Let sit for about 10 minutes, until very foamy.
- Pour the milk mixture into a large bowl, then add the eggs and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the flour, remaining tablespoon of sugar, and salt and stir with a rubber spatula until a sticky dough comes together.
- Add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and work into the dough with your hands, making sure that each piece is incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be shiny, smooth, and elastic.
- Use the empty butter wrappers to grease the inside of a clean large glass bowl.
- Transfer the dough to the greased bowl, using a bench scraper or rubber spatula. Cover with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
- Remove the towel and place plastic wrap directly over the dough's surface. Refrigerate for 1 hour to chill so the dough is easier to shape.
- Make the shell topping: In a medium bowl, cream the butter and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Continue beating on low speed until the mixture is smooth, 3-5 minutes.
- Add the pink food coloring and stir thoroughly with a spatula until the color is homogenous.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Turn the chilled dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With a bench scraper or knife, gently divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
- Shape the pieces into balls by gently pulling the edges of the dough out and underneath, pinching at the bottom, forming a taut surface.
- Place 5 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet and cover with kitchen towels. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the shell topping onto a piece of wax paper and roll into a ball. Place another piece of wax paper on top and roll out to a 4-inch (10 cm) circle, slightly larger than the risen dough balls. Repeat with the remaining topping so you have 10 circles total.
- Gently lay a circle of shell topping over each dough ball, pressing it lightly onto the surface. If the edges of the shell topping are sticking out, gently tuck them down and underneath the dough.
- Using a paring knife, slice lines through just the topping layer to create a shell pattern, being careful not to cut into the dough.
- Bake the conchas for 25 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!

CONCHAS (MEXICAN SWEET BREAD)
I got this recipe from my friends mom who owns a Mexican Bakery. When they made these one day for my family they loved them - even my brother who is sooo picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although they are a little time consuming it is well worth it at the end!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Mix in the milk, 3/8 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, salt, egg and half of the flour. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter to knead as soon as it pulls together enough.
- Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, and turn the dough to coat. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Make the topping while the dough rises. In a medium bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour until the mixture is the consistency of thick paste. Divide into two parts, and place one part in a separate bowl. Mix cinnamon into one half, and vanilla into the other half.
- When the dough is done rising, cut into 12 even-sized pieces. Shape into balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Divide each bowl of topping into 6 balls, and pat flat. Place circles of topping on top of the dough balls patting down lightly. Use a knife to cut grooves in the topping like a clam shell. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
