Directions
- 1Warm up ¾ cups of milk. Do not heat up the milk too much or you're going to kill the yeast. It needs to be warm, just slight to the touch.
- 2Add in 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 packet of active dry yeast (if not, 1 tablespoon). Mix it up and let that sit for 10 minutes.
- 3In a large bowl, combine 4 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of sugar. Give that a mix.
- 4Use a stand mixer (or your hands) to mix the dough. After about 10 minutes, your yeast and milk mixture should look frothy.
- 5Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add in 3 whole eggs, a splash of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of unsalted melted or room temperature butter.
- 6Mix the dough until it is lightly sticky, adding a little more room temperature unsalted butter if needed.
- 7Once finished, the dough should be extremely soft. Cover with a towel and let it rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
- 8For the topping, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup of room temperature unsalted butter (about 1 stick) with a splash of vanilla extract and mix.
- 9Add cocoa powder to one part of the dough and red food coloring to another, then mix each part up.
- 10After two hours, the dough should be double in size. Cut small pieces of dough, about the size of a small egg.
- 11Flatten a piece of topping and place it over a piece of dough. Using a knife, make designs on top.
- 12Place the concha cupcakes in a muffin tin, cover with a towel, and let them rise for 45 minutes. Then, bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes (or until cooked).
