- I don't know what this is.
This is a nightmare.
Oh... (sighs)
(upbeat music)
Hello, it's me, your local Pocha Concha,
back with another Pocha Concha Kitchen.
(upbeat latin music) (Maya humming)
A show where I try to make traditional dishes,
and the recipes are completely in Spanish.
As you can tell from the title, I'm a Pocha.
I'm learning Spanish, and this is gonna be
a difficult struggle.
Today we are making rosca de reyes.
You hear my accent on that?
It's pretty freakin' good.
So, my family doesn't celebrate Three King's Day,
but, funny thing is, is we do eat the bread.
Because it's delicious.
So basically, it's this beautiful, decorated bread,
and inside are plastic, either babies,
or like, baby Jesuses.
I mean, they're supposed to be baby Jesuses.
So, all of these little things are baby Jesuses.
We're gonna put this in the bread,
and whoever slices the bread and gets a baby in it,
has to make the tamales for another holiday.
I'm gonna have you guys do it at the end.
- [PA] Do what at the end?
- Cut into the bread.
Okay, I just wanna note that this says,
(speaks Spanish)
Hmm, today's gonna be one of those days.
(speaks Spanish)
Anyway, let's get started.
This has a lot of ingredients.
Just for the topping, and also for the actual bread.
And, as you guys saw in the first Pocha Concha episode,
where I made concha's, bread is very difficult,
because it can get very hard, very fast,
and I think I remember how to do it.
If not, I'm just gonna watch a YouTube video,
let's be honest.
(speaks Spanish)
(Spanish reading gets sped up)
Okay, so I need to pour some warm water in here
with some yeast.
Oh, lemme pour this out, sorry.
You know, the real bakers and chefs
have a napkin on their shoulder.
So, the water is heating up a little bit.
(speaking Spanish)
Lukewarm water.
A boop.
A sprinkling with yeast!
Get it?
Yeast.
So now I stir oh I have to stir in a half a cup of flour.
(buzzer)
I already messed up.
(laughs)
I was supposed to wait five to ten minutes
for just the foam to stand up and then add the flour
and I just did it all.
Okay, take two.
(laughs hesitantly)
So we're gonna put the lukewarm water.
Now we're going to sprinkle some yeast.
No we're gonna do this.
And then we're gonna wait five to ten minutes
until it's foamy and then add the flour.
Store it in a warm place.
So now that we're waiting for that to rise,
we are going to make the other mixture.
(speaking Spanish)
Did I pass my Spanish speaking test?
No?
Okay.
So now we are going to put this mixture
into the yeast mixture that we made
and this part is where the kneading comes in.
I need to place this on a lightly floured section.
Something's wrong.
Oh.
I didn't put enough yeast.
It's a little more mushy than I wanted it to be.
This is a nightmare.
There we go.
That's dough.
Butter this bowl.
Everybody likes their bowl buttered, right?
So now we're gonna let this set for about an hour and a half
'cause it's gonna rise,
and then we're gonna make it into a little circle,
and then we're gonna bake it.
(speaking Spanish)
375
(speaking Spanish)
I don't know how to say 375.
- [PA] (speaking Spanish)
- Wow!
(speaking Spanish)
- [PA] Cinco.
- Cinco.
So I took the dough and I kneaded it more
and then I put it on this greased pan
and I put a little hole in the middle
so that it can spread out
and now we're gonna decorate it with some egg wash
to make it shiny
and then we're gonna put
some of the little striped sugar parts on it
and then decorate it with some cranberries and apricots.
Listen, I don't have a brush to brush on the egg wash,
so I'm just gonna kind of use this little thing
so it gets golden brown.
So this part that I'm doing
is going to be kind of a sugar topping.
Almost similar to the same texture
of the sugar topping on a concha.
Just gonna sprinkle some.
Yum, we love cranberries.
Now we're gonna put it in the oven for ten minutes.
Here it is!
I think I put on a little too much of this sugar topping,
'cause it did bleed into everything.
If I just put like four it would look better.
Okay.
It's a bread though!
I think I did it!
I really think I did it.
So I'm just gonna taste the little bread part
that I cut off.
It actually looks like it,
if I left it in longer it would have been burned.
It's hot.
Mhm!
It's a bread!
I did it!
So basically you put in the babies underneath
when it's cooled down,
but you guys aren't gonna see that
and you guys aren't gonna see that.
Flip this over.
I'm gonna put the babies everywhere.
Almost ready.
Thank you for being patient, everyone.
Okay!
It ready.
- [PA] Ready?
- So, you guys have been helping me all day.
Now I want you, yeah, just cut a piece.
Okay, and then cut another piece, yeah there you go.
(speaks quietly)
- [PA] Oh!
What is that?
- [Maya] You got it?
(laughter)
You got the baby.
Now you cut.
- First try!
- You have to give me presents.
- Yeah, I have to give you presents.
- Yeah.
- Oh, me too!
(laughs)
- Wow!
Double.
- How many are there?
- Here.
Hold it up.
- Hold it up.
- Look at us.
Lo hicimos!
This was definitely difficult because of the bread aspect
and you have to knead it and everything
and I legit got the recipe wrong and had to start over.
So, it was a labor of love.
Anyway, thank you guys so much for watching.
Let me know in the comments below,
what you want me to make next.
Okay, bye!
(upbeat music)
- [Child] Pero Like.
