For some reason I’ve been thinking a lot about San Antonio and all of the great Mexican food I miss. Well, mainly puffy tacos. But one thing I do not miss are conchas, yeasty sweet breads with a colorful cookie topping. The reason I do not miss them is because the only ones we ever had growing up were tasteless and dry. Plus now I have my own homemade conchas recipe and can make them anytime!<\/p>\n

Panaderia Conchas<\/h2>\n

So I do have a homemade conchas recipe, but I also like to buy them at a panaderia. We had some great Mexican bakeries in Chicago and I’ve found a few here in Raleigh as well. They make so many other things besides conchas. Here we’ve got a concha, un ojo de buey, un banderilla y un barquillo con crema. <\/p>\n

But we’re talking about conchas, so here’s one from a panaderia in Chicago (Artemio<\/a>). So pretty!<\/p>\n

Conchas really do have their own look from place to place, which makes them fun because there’s more than one way to make them.<\/p>\n

How to Make Homemade Conchas<\/h2>\n

First you make a lightly sweet dough. While the dough rises, you then make a very basic cookie dough. Once the dough has risen, you punch it down and portion into rolls. Take your cookie dough and pinch it into circles, then lay cookie dough circles over rolls and use a razor or the tip of a sharp knife to score patterns through the cookie dough. As it bakes, the bread rises up and separates the baked on cookie dough.<\/p>\n

The Dough<\/h2>\n

This is a fluffy and lightly sweet dough. Some concha recipes do have a sweeter dough, but this one is such that you could serve the conchas with a little jam. They are still sweet, though, thanks to the cookie topping.<\/p>\n
