PREPARATION
To prepare this delicious recipe, 1 tbsp of Nutella® per person is enough to enjoy!
- Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water before stirring in milk, sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and 2 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place in a large, greased bowl, then turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 2 hours.
- Step 2
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each 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.
- Step 3
Divide topping 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. With a knife, decorate topping with traditional concha shape.
- Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 325º degrees for 20 minutes, or until the bottom of the conchas are lightly golden.
- Step 5
Let cool, then slice each concha in half, spread Nutella® between the two slices and enjoy!
