Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and warm water. Mix in the milk, 3/8 cup sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, salt, egg and half of the flour. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter to knead as soon as it pulls together enough.
- Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in a large greased bowl, and turn the dough to coat. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Make the topping while the dough rises. In a medium bowl, beat 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the flour until the mixture is the consistency of thick paste. Divide into two parts, and place one part in a separate bowl. Mix cinnamon into one half, and vanilla into the other half.
- When the dough is done rising, cut into 12 even-sized pieces. Shape into balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet, spacing about 3 inches apart. Divide each bowl of topping into 6 balls, and pat flat. Place circles of topping on top of the dough balls patting down lightly. Use a knife to cut grooves in the topping like a clam shell. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

BOLEO/ BOLILLOS (AUTHENTIC MEXICAN/FRENCH BREAD)
No mater how you spell it, Boleo/Bolillos' are sold through out Mexico, in bakeries and supermarkets. They are basically a small french roll/baguette that was believed to have been introduced into the country by The Boleo Mining Company, a French company which operated in Santa Rosalia, Mexico in the 1800's. The mine is now closed, but the original bakery still fluorishes. To learn more about the history of the Boleo/Bolillos go to this website: http://travel.msn.com/Guides/article.aspx?cp-documentid=345460 If you prefer the sweeter bolillos (made on the mainland), then increase the sugar or substitute honey.

Steps:
- Place the raisins in a small bowl and pour the brandy over them. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer the bread in the baking dish. Add the pecans and the cheese to the bread, mixing both in lightly. Scatter the raisins over the top, including any brandy not absorbed by the fruit.
- In a small skillet, warm 2 tbsp of the butter. Add apple and apricots and saute until softened. Spoon the fruit over the raisins.
- Pour the sugar into a large, heavy saucepan. Warm over medium high heat till the sugar melts and turns a deep golden brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting. Pour the water into the molten sugar, standing back from the pan to avoid the steam that will rise as the water hits the sugar. The mixture will partially solidify.
- Continue cooking till liquid again, stirring occasionally. Add the apple cider, orange juice, butter, vanilla and spices to the syrup. Ladle the syrup carefully over the bread. When the preparation is complete, the syrup should be about level with the top of the bread. If any bread pieces aren't coated, push them into the syrup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, till the syrup has absorbed and the cheese has melted into the pudding. Serve the pudding hot, topped with whipped cream if you like.

CAPIROTADA A LA ANTIGUA (MEXICAN BREAD PUDDING)

In this variation, a baguette is sliced and toasted then layered with fruit in a dish and drizzled with a spiced fruit syrup.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your bread will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
- Follow the Recipe: Especially if you're a beginner, it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
- Pay Attention to the Temperature: The temperature of your oven and the ingredients you use can affect the outcome of your bread. Make sure you preheat your oven to the correct temperature and that your ingredients are at the right temperature before you start baking.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing can make your bread tough and dense. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined. For bread dough, you should mix until the dough just comes together and forms a ball.
- Let Your Bread Rise: Rising allows the yeast to ferment the dough, which gives it its characteristic flavor and texture. Make sure you let your bread rise for the full amount of time specified in the recipe.
- Bake Your Bread Until It's Golden Brown: The best way to tell if your bread is done baking is to insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, your bread is done.
Conclusion:
Mexican bread is a delicious and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a Mexican bread that everyone will enjoy.
