Hecho con Amor: Conchas

Conchas are a traditional sweet bread made of a fluffy, buttery brioche-like soft dough, flavored with cinnamon and topped with a sugar topping that resembles a seashell. This is one of the most popular kinds of authentic Mexican sweet bread and an iconic childhood favorite for many.

In this class, participants will learn the basics of making these delicious treats and share them with family and friends.

Instructor: Master Baker Alex Peña, founder of Baking Evolution.

Alex is currently working on a cook book on the history and evolution of pan dulce.
