How To Make Conchas with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person

[@DavidPendock]

I love how she describes everything in terms of the dough's emotions. It rises until it's happy, and you stop shaping it before it gets mad at you.

[@forteandblues]

You have to really get to know your dough before it will speak to you. That’s why I’m a cook not a baker. But I’m still gonna watch and learn what I can.

[@2darkdragon]

dough can sense fear

[@hopegold883]

@2darkdragon 👩‍🍳 😘

[@GhibliOmatiC]

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that she has cats.

[@Bob-Fields]

Animism is very mexican thing.

[@OnlyGlenUKnow]

Mariela has the best personality with her baking! I think her and Claire had some of the best rapport of her guest episodes

[@hopegold883]

Just looking at her shop made me want to fly to Austin. It looks magical.

[@legendsof567]

she is so magnetic!

[@vizio32]

Love how a seasoned pastry chef like Claire can just come in and learn new techniques and at the same time respect the process. Love this episode!!!

[@Thiccalinda]

After watching Claire cooking in the most meticulous mathematically precise way for years, and making brioche specifically, it's fun watching her interact with someone with such a different approach in the most respectful way of their process as a student instead of imposing her ways (which tends to be the way some type A personalities usually are). This was an amazing episode in that sensei!

[@bob22222222222222100]

Of course she can learn new things from actual professionals lmao. Claire isn’t some all-knowing cleric of pastry, she’s a home cook with a KZbin channel.

[@marinarios4002]

Being Mexican and a long time Claire fan, this series has just sent my love for Claire and her team over the moon. I love the deep dive to mexican cuisine in all it´s forms. I love that you can tell that the curiosity towards all chefs and their food comes from a very geninue and wholehearted openness to learn, contribute and share with everyone else. Loving this series!!

[@justus1995]

Mariela is awesome, wouldn't mind a couple more episodes with her

[@Melanco001]

yes please!

[@umsami]

Me too! But also breakfast taco guy. Seriously, Claire has chosen some great people. Only complaint? Put the address/url of the places you visit in the description.

[@Jeffffrey0902]

We have something called "墨西哥包" (literally "Mexican buns") here in Hong Kong, and it's a local man who brought the recipe back from Mexico after doing business there. They're a bit different from conchas: the topping is looser, piped onto the dough, and we don't do the stamp, either. In fact we have another baked good called "菠蘿包" (literally "pineapple buns") that have a crunchy cookie topping. It's bumpy and gnarly like pineapples, and looks more like conchas than Mexican buns do.

[@katl8825]

Bolo bread (and Japanese Melonpan) are both very similar in concept to conchas, from what I can tell. I love it when different cultures come to the same, independent conclusion that something is delicious!

[@umsami]

These remind me of pineapple buns!

[@naticaatticaable]

I was thinking this reminds me of bolobao.

[@RhubarbPiArt]

It's so amazing that we could feel that Mariela has a personal relationship with every Conchas she makes. Truly wholehearted pastry making. And I love how Claire is so respectful, I bet as a fellow pastry chef she sees that even more than I can, and it's so pleasant to see.

[@bodyofhope]

And we know that her baked goods love her in return ❤

[@jackbramley4872]

You can tell how much love and emotion Marielle puts into her baking, such a sweet moment to watch her craft be appreciated by Claire. Tearing up watching this 🥹

[@gumshake689]

cant believe you colonized her name

[@healedmindbodyandspirit]

@@gumshake689 LMAO

[@gabriellehurd-gb3bi]

Publishers watching, give Mariela a cookbook deal! I come back to this episode all the time for concha advice. I'm rewatching on a victory round today after making my own conchas with chocolate chucks. They came out heavenly.👼

[@demelaya]

It’s funny how Claire forgets she’s freaking Claire Saffitz and people want to impress her 😂 adorable

[@hopegold883]

Well, yeah, I mean, she’s seeking out people who are really specialists. And I’ve heard her say many times she considers herself a home cook, even though she’s professionally trained and an author Nd all.

[@lawrencesaylol]

That’s why she is so endearing well loved.

[@jlarnold24]

When Mariela expressed being nervous and Claire’s like “oh really?” I’m like: DO YOU REALIZE YOU ARE THE WORLD’S BAKING QUEEN???? 😆

[@bob22222222222222100]

Claire is just a famous author and KZbinr, she isn’t some world-renowned god of pastry lmao

[@laperez92]

Mariela made my wedding cake! Excellent episode and so excited to see her highlighted on your Austin trip ❤

[@TWForeeever]

At first I saw the thumbnail and was like, hm the lady with the fringe looks familiar and then I realized it’s the woman who runs Comadre Panaderia in Austin! I was able to try some of her baked goods, and I really enjoyed the conchas. She seems like an awesome business owner!

[@FrankRivera81]

Comadre is, more or less, the best bakery in Austin and the best conchas I've had. Menu is different every week, but you honestly can't go wrong with anything they produce.

[@syntacticalcrab]

I love how reverently nervous everyone is around Claire with their baked goods, even when they're the professionals xD It's adorable.

[@anam.delcampo8634]

This is amazing because for years now I’ve been using Claire’s brioche recipe to make conchas and they turn out amazing. Letting the dough rest overnight gives it so much more flavor and makes it easier to work with ❤

[@dragon_666]

Maybe it was just me, but something about the way Claire looked at the camera when Mariela said 20mins was just soo funny. Great episode as always! ♥

[@jonathangarza3386]

I agree. I think she wanted to eat one straight out of the oven.

[@Polypores44]

Where at?

[@dragon_666]

@@Polypores44 at 24:00 it’s subtle but I felt like she was building up to hopefully eat a fresh one and then all hope was lost when Mariela said in 20mins

[@bug6854]

something about this video just radiates pure happiness. i love claire and her respect for what she learns, cooks, and eats. mariela and claire had such a lovely vibe and seeing mariela's reaction to claire liking her concha was so sweet and relatable--the nervousness made me smile and was just pure. forever the favorite part of my week, thank you for the uploads claire!

[@haleypaigeful]

So exciting to have Claire baking with one of my fav atx bakers and conchas no less! yay!!

[@Alinkssa]

I love the description of the dough as "happy" As someone who assigns emotions and reactions to inanimate objects consistently for funsies, that made me smile🥰

[@badusername1128]

Chef Camacho has such a cool vibe! She was very charismatic and chill. I would love to try these!

[@jimenezdenizmelinagalilea5343]

I love how Claire is always willing to learn from other chefs!!! love you Claire!!❤

[@wrightcodyj]

Thank you for coming to Austin, Claire. We love you!

[@BigCizzle120]

The intro animation 🤌🏼❣️ literally I would watch a whole animated series!

[@BJanethhh]

watching Claire get all gitty and excited about expanding her knowledge on baked goods - in a different culture - AS A well known pastry chef is EVERYTHINGGGG and more 🤍🫶🏼

[@jessikagonzalez6886]

Such a beautiful experience! You can sense the passion and care Chef Mariela has for her creations !

[@sergioreal7810]

Seeing Claire use the tortilla press was so gratifying. Seeing a chef I look up to use a tool I grew up with and is close to my culture just felt like my worlds colliding

[@93musicians22]

I absolutely love that even though Claire is so skilled and knowledgeable, she is also humble and open enough to know that she can learn a lot from other people. Respect! Also, I live in Texas, so now I'm so looking forward to checking out Comadre Panaderia sometime! Yumm!!!

[@tinalaplaca6638]

I absolutely love these pastries especially the homemade ones

[@nyves104]

this is def getting bookmarked to try later, esp the browned butter lavender ones. Claire has gotten me hooked on browned butter, I use it in all my baking these days

[@silverleafmaple]

Hello Mariela and Claire :) I love the green one. It reminds me of a little turtle shell. Thanks Y'all!

[@thebatmanwholaughs]

I love this episode! Mariela is so awesome and explains everything so well! I want to learn from her! Hope they can open a spot in Los Angeles if they haven’t yet!

[@mariavillagomez1665]

these concha’s look absolutely fabulous! what a fun and interesting video

[@NightOwlooo]

Claire's cat t-shirt at the beginning is incredible!

[@sacadosify]

I started making conchas about a month ago and find them so much fun to make. The latest ones I made were curry-based. I think it is my new favorite flavor. Glad to see Claire diving into the world of conchas, too! I really love the flavor options that Mariela shared here.

[@eatsbyrachel]

What a special behind the scenes look at one of my favorite pastries!! Literally every flavor sounds DIVINE. Bookmarking this spot for my next trip to Austin.

[@MilaArmstrong]

it's claire day!!!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Girl power of chefs! Mariela & Claire! ❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@NoPlaceLikeCheese]

Thank you for raising my state of conchasness!

[@SUPERSTUDIO17]

Mariela has such a nice and relaxing energy and vibe! I love her so much. I can watch more videos with her. Please more collabs

[@ria8894]

Mariela Camacho has such a beautiful energy! Love the way she explains everything~

[@veronicaflores144]

Me encanta la panadería! Happy to see her on your show.

[@brentonwalters]

I love conchas, and I love making conchas! So glad this popped up in my videos to watch.

[@lautaroortiz5935]

A mi también me encanta la concha 🇦🇷

[@luvyou-baby]

in the 90s they gave these in school for lunch time it was LA. for years i thought about them wondering what they were called , i dont live in the US so i hope i get the chance to eat these again. this was a pleasant episode

[@SnipetsofTime]

They never gave us conchas in our LA school. 😮

[@Becausing]

Yes! There were a few random LAUSD cafeteria foods that were so good! The kinda shitty chalupas, rectangle pizza in foil tray, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, those foil cookies!

[@SnipetsofTime]

@@Becausing the morning breakfast pizza!

[@knut]

@@Becausing That LAUSD coffee cake is legendary!

[@Becausing]

@@knut You can find the recipe online! You must make it!

[@18josiahboi]

Such a good episode! I didn’t realize that’s how concha is made. It’s one of my favorite bread/pastry. Plus the moringa powder makes it healthy 😉

[@jasminegomez9374]

I love this video being Hispanic myself and having grew up with conchas they are my favorite and i will definitely be following this vídeo

[@marthagonzalez-l3l]

Conchas came from bakeries in Mexico

[@TheSimplydar]

The og pan dulce that's #1 in my heart

[@buddyholly4672]

Mariela seems really cool and confident in her process

[@nataliemeeks6869]

Loving this Austin series so much and running to try conchas asap!! Claire day never disappoints

[@Tobid1905]

I always feel inspired after watching Claire's videos.

[@jeffforbess6802]

¡Maranitos! Conchas are just fine. They’re like the butter cookies of Mexico. Give me the little piggies every time.

[@brandibucko]

Mmmm mi favorito

[@elizabethbeierle7464]

This was absolutely delightful and I’d love to see more videos from/with Mariela! Thank you for teaching Claire and all of us how to make conchas!

[@emkn1479]

Conchas are incredible, the best. I have no bread making ability but I simply must try these anyway.

[@Rawrmuffin0]

My favorite of the austin series. Conchas are the heart of pan dulce. Love mariela she is SO austin Mexicana 💚🤍❤️

[@river2504]

I love the way Mariela described how happy the dough is or isn't

[@janicedowson7793]

Excellent! Thanks Claire and Chef Mariela. Great Austin visits. (Also thanks for showing Felix... love the cats too.🐈🐈‍⬛😺)

[@myronalcock4716]

Totally enjoyed these two together, great video, thanks!

[@Ottokae20]

Omg I’m definitely trying this at home thanks Claire for introducing us to such a great person

[@IJG07]

Delicious!!!! I made my starter with bread flour and the roll with Kamut flour. The Conchas were soft. The King Arthur recipe said makes 10 rolls - they were bigger than I expected. Thank you both again!!

[@cariiinen]

Love her! Beautiful energy

[@ethanstewart9970]

Wow, mariela was amazing. Carried the episode!

[@christophermendez3133]

Diva this is exactly what I needed today bless you

[@IJG07]

You both inspired me to bake Conchas. My dough is doing its first rise 😊. Thank you both for sharing of your experiences!

[@adtrf1]

Loved this one. OMG - I'm going to give it a try this weekend. Also, chef Marliela did a great job explaining her methods. this might be my fav. dessert ppl episode.

[@JustJoelOnYoutube]

“Gentle crunch”, say no more 😮❤

[@linneawahlund]

I love Japanese Melonpan. I bet I would love these too! I especially want to try the lavender one! I think I could try to make these at home! Thank you for such an interesting and inspiring video.

Ive been to the panaderia, and they are so nice there....this place def makes you feel like home =)

[@whitneyleyva-camberos8784]

Can’t wait to see how Claire adapts this at home!! This is one of my favorite bakes but have wanted to expand my technique on them!

[@jaleenkinser2140]

Such a great video! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@xiomara4362]

Conchas are literally my childhood 😭 I had no business eating this with a cup of coffee as a kid 💀 my grandma would heat up some milk and would add like a tiny teaspoon of instant coffee 😅 used to love going to her house bc she was the only one that allowed me to have that and it made me feel grown up😭

[@lechatbotte.]

Woo woo love these. I lived in the Coachella valley which was name erroneously. It was supposed to be the conchella valley. I adore all things Mexican cuisine

[@ariannagonzalez2618]

I went today with my son today, and I regret not getting more 😂 we will be back again very soon !

[@MelKCh]

Loved it going to watch the whole thing again. If you think conchas are terrible, you are not having a good one. Try making them!

[@aJJMakesSense]

Claire saffitz and conchas? This my shit. This is home.

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! Gorgeous dessert and absolutely amazing piece of art out of food ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@PACHEKODEMON]

CONCHAS!!!!!!!!!!

[@AidoneusPluto]

New upload from the queen herself!! I don't think I've ever had conchas but they look delicious just from the opening B-roll

[@ester797]

All that was missing from this one was a shot of Claire and Mariela eating conchas with cafecito or hot chocolate. Loving these episodes! 🎉

[@TyTLZacharie]

Omg not Mariela?!?! I had to click on this so fast to make sure it was her! Man I love her pastries & business. She use to do deliveries in my city & I would usually order almost all the time!

[@yaelshukrun6793]

Is 420 gr of butter the correct measurement?

[@boogieasmr6835]

I’m so excited!! I’ve made them once and am so excited to learn the technique

[@orellaminx3530]

My grandpa's neighbors made these a couple times a week. Was friends with their kids, always had fresh ones.

[@meishot00]

I make pan dulce (concha is the topping only) once a month. They are really easy and fun to make.

[@codem0de]

Always ignored these growing up because they always look better than they taste. I hope I get to try Mariela's some day!

[@JenniferJadeKerr]

Can't wait to try these out! I've wanted to make them for a while, and now I feel much more equipped :)

[@truthbetold2611]

It's similar to the Chinese pineapple bun, a favorite in my childhood.

Ahhhhh I love her Spanglish!

[@amii_peach]

Please come to Japan and make the Japanese version!!!!!! I would love to see how you learn to make the desserts here!!!!❤❤❤

[@subliminalphish]

I'm thinking of making these and using a filling in the bread. Something like a honey nut , a fruit or even a custard. It looks so yummy and the thought of biting into a delicious filling makes my eyes roll back into my head with ecstasy.... Man it made me hungry for something sweetish. So I'm snacking on some chocolate chips (it's late and I just didn't want anything too intense to make or to filling to eat now near bedtime and I'm out of ice cream 😢)

[@hannahcollins1816]

I love how Claire's competitiveness popped up when they were making the toppings for the conchas 😂

[@eyeballs306]

I’ll be in Austin soon and can’t wait to try!!

[@rickyacero]

Cocnchas! I’m making these this weekend. 🙌🏽

[@MaureenDrees]

Fascinating!

[@amel1ajs]

love this episode ☺️

[@bangmrk]

I love conchas! I’d have a go at making these today, but I just made the shortbread from What’s for Dessert this morning! I also have most of a Queen of Sheba cake (a la Julia Child) to get through, so I really can’t justify making more treats today!
