Made Concha For The First Time

 

Totally unrelated, I want to make this:

Back to why we are here.

So how did we decide on making a Mexican sweet bread without never having even eaten one? My son and I saw some prepackaged ones in the store and thought to ourselves, we can make this from scratch. My son Google for a recipe and found this one.

Authentic Mexican Concha Recipe - Mexico in my Kitchen


Like I said, we have never had one so we were not sure how it was supposed to turn out.  So it is a roll with a shortening, powdered sugar topping on top. You have to option make a chocolate topping.

 I decided to make the dough portion in my bread machine. This might not be a wise decision.    I thought it turn out a little tough, but it was tasty.  The dough did not seem to double its size. It might need more time to rise. The topping comes off a little too. You are supposed to put on some shortening on top of the roll before putting on the topping. I had my grandson help me, so he might not have put enough shortening on some of the rolls.

If we try this again, I will not use my bread machine. I will also make it will the chocolate topping.

Maybe we will buy some of the prepackaged ones to get an idea of how they are supposed to be.

Brownie and Frozen Yogurt Poppable

This is a low-sugar brownie I made. It only has 1/2 cup sugar for the 8-inch pan. It also has an avocado in it, and some low-fat yogurt in it instead of butter and eggs. It does have some cinnamon in it to give a little more sweetness. Overall, I really don't like them. It was o.k. I will try this again adding a little more sugar. 

These little frozen yogurt bites are o.k. A bit overpriced for 6 little balls.

Here is a poppable on top of the brownie. This did not work out because the brownie was soft and the frozen yogurt was hard. I should have waited for the frozen yogurt to thaw a little.
