A concha is a traditional Mexican sweet bread, known for its distinctive shell-like shape and crunchy topping. It is typically made from a soft, sweet dough that is flavored with vanilla or cinnamon. The topping, made from a mixture of sugar, flour, and butter, is often colored and patterned to resemble a seashell. Conchas are commonly enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack, often paired with hot chocolate or coffee. They are a popular item in Mexican bakeries, known as panaderías, and are loved for their delightful texture and sweet flavor.
