conchas
Round pan dulce
Conchas are Mexican sweet bread rolls topped with a crunchy sugar shell scored to resemble a seashell—the name means "shells" in Spanish.
The topping comes in vanilla, chocolate, or other flavors, creating a distinctive striped pattern.
Conchas are a staple of Mexican bakeries and breakfast tables: We picked up conchas from the panadería.
