🍳 How to cook (10 servings):
Preparing the Dough
Begin by mixing the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Gradually add in the beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and softened butter, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, then let it rest covered in a warm place until doubled in size.
Creating the Sugar Topping
While the dough rests, prepare the sugar topping. Combine sugar, butter, and a touch of flour to form a malleable paste. Optionally, add food coloring or flavors to mimic the variety of Conchas found in bakeries.
Assembling and Baking
Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal parts, shaping each into a round bun. Flatten the sugar paste into discs and carefully place them over each dough ball. Use a knife to gently imprint the signature shell design on the sugar topping. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, echoing the heartwarming scent of Mexican bakeries.
