For the dough: In a mixer with the C-hook attachment, mix flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, milk, and salt. Once completely incorporated, add butter and mix until a smooth and elastic dough is formed. Add orange zest and mix for 2 more minutes. Grease a bowl with cooking spray and place dough in. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size. Set aside. For the crust: In a mixer bowl, add flour, icing sugar, and butter and mix with a silicone spatula until a paste is formed. Divide into two and set aside. Tint one half of the paste with pink food coloring. Tint remaining half of the paste with red food coloring. Using a spoon, mix each paste until evenly tinted. Set aside. Flour your fist and punch down dough to remove excess air. Flour a flat surface and place dough. Form 2.8-ounce dough balls and arrange them on a previously greased and floured baking sheet. Let proof for 20 minutes and set aside. Line a tortilla press with butcher paper. Place a small crust ball in the middle and flatten to the size of the dough balls. Repeat until the pink and red pastes are used up. Set aside. Cover each dough ball with a flattened crust. Score crust with a concha cutter. Using kitchen shears, cut a “V” at the top of each concha to form a heart shape. Bake heart-shaped conchas for 18 minutes at 356 °F. Serve heart-shaped conchas paired with a glass of milk.
