Steps

3 hours

1

First, make sure to weigh out all the dough ingredients ahead of time: bread flour, eggs, milk, butter, margarine, yeast, and salt.
2

Next, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center. Warm the milk slightly (do not boil), add the yeast, and pour into the well.
3

Gradually add the eggs and mix.
4

After mixing in the eggs, add the butter and margarine (both should be softened) a little at a time, mixing to form the dough.
5

Knead the dough for 10–15 minutes until it becomes smooth and soft.
6

Grease a bowl or metal container with a little butter, place the dough inside, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise for about 45 minutes (the dough should double in size).
7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down.
8

Weigh out 2 oz (55 grams) portions of dough and shape them into balls.
9

——— Topping ——
First, weigh out all the topping ingredients: flour, powdered sugar, vegetable shortening, and cocoa powder.
10

Mix the dry ingredients (flour and powdered sugar), then add the vegetable shortening and mix until a dough forms.
11

The result should be a soft, pliable dough.
12

——— Assembling the Conchas ———
Spread a little vegetable shortening on each dough ball, then add the topping.
1- Make a small ball with the topping dough.
2- Flatten the topping balls into discs, like small tortillas.
13

Place the topping discs on top of the dough balls. Use a concha cutter or a knife to create the traditional shell pattern, if desired.
