Preparation
Dough
- Place the fresh egg, yeast, Mix Pan de Muerto, cinnamon, and cocoa in the mixer bowl.
- Mix with the dough hook on the first speed setting for 1 minute.
- Knead on speed 2 for 10 minutes.
- Add the water and continue kneading until the dough becomes elastic, which takes about 10 more minutes of kneading. Finally, stir in the chopped walnuts.
*Note: Do not overwork the dough, as the walnuts release natural oils that can ruin it.
- Once the ingredients are fully combined, let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Cut out and shape figures, insert a piece of semisweet chocolate into each one, and roll them so the chocolate is centered inside each piece.
- Decorate the pieces with bone-shaped pieces of dough and let them rise for 90 to 120 minutes.
- Bake at 160 °C for 20 minutes. Let the pieces cool to room temperature.
Completed
- Melt the butter over direct heat and brush it onto the bread; let it dry slightly, then coat with granulated sugar mixed with ground cinnamon.
