A sweet pretty treat from the kitchens of  Forest of torment

******************************

A different recipe for conchas I tried. I was sort of unhappy with the previous recipe i posted.

This one is a TON easier, no pre-ferment, no weighing ingredients out, no half an egg and no cake flour!
I liked the results much better...I also have since acquired a concha cutter :3 the end result speaks for itself

the old recipe can be found here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11350186/

Ingredients

yeilds 6 large or 12 small
the new proportions are:

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
3 1/2-4 cups all-purpose flour

Topping Dough

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

mix milk/water sugar and yeast let stand 10 minutes to dissolve

add butter egg flour salt and Cinnamon mix until you have a smooth yet tacky dough

let rise 1 1/2 hrs

meanwhile make topping

cream butter and sugar add flour and vanilla

form into a log and cut in half cut each half into thirds and pat into 3-4 inch

rounds

take risen dough and cut and roll into six large buns

place one topping round on each bun and form around bun

make cuts on top of bun with a sharp knife, cookie cutter or in my case concha cutter

cover and let rise an additional 40 minutes

bake at 375 for 20 minutes

eat with coffee

when completely cool store in an airtight container

options: you can add a teaspoon of cinamon or 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa or flavored sugar into the topping

I have seen people use strawberry blueberry or banana flavored sugar....with pretty and colorful results
(I have no idea where to find these if anyone knows, please inform me)

enjoy and happy baking
