METHOD

  1. Mexican Conchas with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread 1 | Nutella

    Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, butter, salt, eggs and yolk and 2 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. 

    Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl, then turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about 2 hours. 

     

  2. Mexican Conchas with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread 2 | Nutella

    Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Set aside. 

    Meanwhile, prepare the topping: beat sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. Stir in flour until mixture is the consistency of thick paste.

  3. Mexican Conchas with NUTELLA® hazelnut spread 3 | Nutella

    Divide into 12 pieces. Pat each piece into a circle. Brush each bun with the egg wash and place 1 circle of topping dough on each ball of dough, shaping it down over the ball.
