These Vegan Thyme and Love Conchas are a delightful twist on the traditional Mexican sweet bread. Infused with the earthy flavor of thyme and made with love, they are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee or tea.

Ingredients: 1 cup almond milk. 1/4 cup vegan butter. 1/4 cup organic cane sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/2 tsp ground thyme. 1/4 cup organic powdered sugar. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 1 tbsp plant-based milk.

Instructions: Add vegan butter and warm almond milk to a saucepan. Stir the butter as it melts. Take it off the heat and let it cool down until it's about 110F. Also, add the vanilla extract and cane sugar and mix well. Add the yeast and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it starts to foam. Put the flour, salt, and ground thyme in a large bowl and mix them together. Add the yeast mix and mix it in until a dough forms. For about 5 minutes, knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and springy. Cover with a towel and put in a greased bowl. Let it rise for an hour in a warm place. Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces after it has risen. Roll each piece into a ball and put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make a paste with the powdered sugar, flour, and plant-based milk in a small bowl. You can color each of the three equal parts of paste with any food coloring you like. Between two pieces of parchment paper, roll out each color of paste until it is 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles that are a little bigger than the dough balls with a cookie cutter or cup. On top of each dough ball, put a circle of colored paste. To make the classic concha shape, carefully score the paste with a knife. Put a towel over the shaped conchas and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Turn on the oven and heat it up to 350F 180C. Toast the conchas for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Set them on a wire rack to cool down before you serve them.
