Pan de Muertos - Receta #2
A little more effort- a lot better product
Ingredients :
½ cup milk
¼ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1 envelope dry yeast
2 eggs
2 – 1/3 cup unsifted all purpose flour
½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Bring milk to scalding. Remove from heat and stir in butter (in small pieces), sugar, and salt. Let cool.
2. In a bowl, mix yeast with ¼ cup warm water. Let stand about 5 minutes. Add milk mixture, 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk and flour. Blend well. Place dough on a well floured board and knead until smooth and velvety, about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. (take about 1- ½ hours). Knead again on a floured board to expel air bubbles.
3. Cut off a 1/3 cup sized piece of dough. Set aside. Divide the remaining dough in 3 equal parts. Shape each into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid ropes together, pressing ends to hold securely. Place on a greased baking sheet and join ends firmly to make a wreath. Divide reserved dough in half. Shape each portion into a bone. Cross bones on top of wreath.
4. Cover lightly and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until puffy looking. Brush gently with 1 slightly beaten egg white. Mix cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar, sprinkle into loaf, avoiding the bones. Bake in a 350 oven for about 35 minutes or until richly browned. Cut in wedges. Serve warm with butter.

Calaveras (skulls) are a common treat to give to children, a loved one, or as decoration for an altar during Day of the Dead. The most famous of them all, La Catrina (below) is often the icon of Day of the Dead along with many other dancing, celebrating skeletons.
