Conchas (Mexican Sweet Bread) image

I got this recipe from my friends mom who owns a Mexican Bakery. When they made these one day for my family they loved them - even my brother who is sooo picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although they are a little time consuming it is well worth it at the end!

Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ teaspoons yeast
½ cup warm water
½ cup evaporated milk
⅜ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup butter or margarine
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Mix in the milk, 3/8 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, salt, egg and half of the flour. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter to knead as soon as it pulls together enough.
  • Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, and turn the dough to coat. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Make the topping while the dough rises. In a medium bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour until the mixture is the consistency of thick paste. Divide into two parts, and place one part in a separate bowl. Mix cinnamon into one half, and vanilla into the other half.
  • When the dough is done rising, cut into 12 even-sized pieces. Shape into balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Divide each bowl of topping into 6 balls, and pat flat. Place circles of topping on top of the dough balls patting down lightly. Use a knife to cut grooves in the topping like a clam shell. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Provided by Member 610488

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup brandy
6 cups French bread or 6 cups Italian bread, cubed toasted
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup almonds, toasted chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese or 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 tart apple, peeled cored chopped
1/2 cup dried apricot, chopped
2 1/2 cups hot water
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (canela, if available)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
whipped cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the brandy over them. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the bread in the baking dish. Add the pecans and the cheese to the bread, mixing both in lightly. Scatter the raisins over the top, including any brandy not absorbed by the fruit.
  • In a small skillet, warm 2 tbsp of the butter. Add apple and apricots and saute until softened. Spoon the fruit over the raisins.
  • Pour the sugar into a large, heavy saucepan. Warm over medium high heat till the sugar melts and turns a deep golden brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting. Pour the water into the molten sugar, standing back from the pan to avoid the steam that will rise as the water hits the sugar. The mixture will partially solidify.
  • Continue cooking till liquid again, stirring occasionally. Add the apple cider, orange juice, butter, vanilla and spices to the syrup. Ladle the syrup carefully over the bread. When the preparation is complete, the syrup should be about level with the top of the bread. If any bread pieces aren't coated, push them into the syrup.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, till the syrup has absorbed and the cheese has melted into the pudding. Serve the pudding hot, topped with whipped cream if you like.

Capirotada a la Antigua (Mexican Bread Pudding) image

Capirotada is a traditional Mexican dessert, similar to what we know of as a bread pudding. In this variation, a baguette is sliced and toasted then layered with fruit in a dish and drizzled with a spiced fruit syrup. This dish is often eaten in Mexico around Easter time and carries a rich symbolism to the Passion of Christ.

1 guava - peeled, halved, and seeded
1 cup chopped piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar cones)
peel of 1/2 orange
2 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
5 whole allspice berries

Mexican Corn Bread/Miss Kay Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by á-48540

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8.25-ounce) can cream style corn
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated and divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange bacon slices in crisscross pattern in bottom of 10.5x2-inch cast-iron skillet. Place skillet in oven for 15 minutes or until bacon drippings evenly cover bottom of skillet. Tilt skillet to distribute drippings evenly. (Drippings will prevent corn bread from sticking) Whisk together cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together corn and next 3 ingredients; stir into cornmeal mixture. Stir in peppers and 1 1/2 cups cheese just until blended. Spoon batter into skillet. Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle remaining cheese over bread. Bake 10 minutes until cheese melts and bread is golden. Remove from oven to wire rack; let stand 10 minutes. Loosen edges with metal spatula; flip bread into serving plate. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: High-quality ingredients yield the best results. Use fresh, flavorful ingredients to create delicious Mexican bread.
  • Properly Knead the Dough: Kneading the dough is crucial for developing the gluten and giving the bread its texture. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allow time for the dough to rise. This allows the yeast to work its magic, creating a light and airy bread.
  • Don't Overwork the Dough: Overworking the dough can result in a tough, dense bread. Handle the dough gently and avoid over-kneading.
  • Preheat the Oven: Always preheat the oven before baking. This ensures the bread bakes evenly and has a crispy crust.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended baking temperature. A properly heated oven will help the bread rise optimally.
  • Cool the Bread Properly: Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Mexican bread is a culinary treasure, offering a diverse range of flavors and textures. From the sweet and soft Pan Dulce to the savory Conchas, the options are endless. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, these Mexican bread recipes provide a fantastic opportunity to explore this delightful cuisine. With a little patience and attention to detail, you can create authentic Mexican bread that will impress your friends and family.
