Conchas Mexican Sweet Bread
Conchas are Mexican sweetened bread rolls with a crunchy topping. Always a crowd favorite! I got this recipe from my friend's mom, who owns a Mexican bakery. They made these one day for my family, and they loved them — even my brother, who is so picky. Now they ask for them all the time. Although these are a bit time-consuming, they're well worth it in the end!
