  • Mix milk and yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes and reserve.
  • For the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, egg, vanilla essence, and hydrated yeast. Add milk and knead until an elastic, homogenous dough is obtained.
  • Add butter and keep kneading until a very soft dough is obtained.
  • Grease a bowl and place the dough on it. Cover it with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • For the crust: Mix butter, icing sugar, and flour until a homogenous dough is obtained. Split it into thirds. Paint one portion with red food coloring and another with green food coloring. Weigh individual 15-gram portions.
  • Once the dough rises, weigh 75-gram balls. Place them on a previously greased and floured baking sheet. Using your hands, slightly press on them so that they flatten. Glaze with melted butter.
  • On a previously dusted surface, make strips of each color of the crust. Bind them using your hands and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap. Flatten according to the size of the concha.
  • Place the tricolor crust over each concha. Using a cutter press on it to shape it or use a knife to slightly cut squares.
  • Preheat oven to 352 ° F.
