Assembly 
Figurations
For concha:  yOu take a ball of rested dough and flatten it, you make a little tortilla of the concha, you can put the chocolate and the normal together, as I did or you can use them separetly, brush with a little water and place the concha, make little cut as yOu wish ( squares , strips, etc).
For envainado: (with a small rolling pin, or anything similar) Take the rolling pin and grease it. Take a ball of dough and lenght it with the rolling pin. In a greades part of the pin place the strip of dough and roll it. Take it out and lenght it a little. Cover with concha. 
Crescent as you normally do a dinner roll, insted of being in that shape try to roll like a triangle the dough. 
.   

When these come out of the oven brush them with unsalted butter and a mix of sugar and cinnamon (OMG these is sOOOO gOod ) and let them cool. 


 
 

I know there`s lot of effort in the making of pan mexicano but trust me it's totally worth it
