Join us for a fun, hands-on baking experience as we dive into the world of conchas, a beloved and traditional Mexican pan dulce that is soft, light, and slightly sweet, with a signature crunchy topping. You’ll learn how to make this traditional treat from scratch, from the enriched dough to the beautifully detailed sugar shell.
Our expert instructor will guide you through each step and all the secrets to making the perfect enriched dough that can work for many applications - not just conchas! We'll mix, knead, proof, and shape the dough, providing you with the techniques to handle dough like a pro. You will have the option of which flavor you want the sugar topping to be - from classic vanilla and chocolate to a couple of unique flavors that you will have to come find out what they are! You’ll walk away with the skills to recreate this Mexican bread at home, and also the confidence to use these recipes for other applications.
