Ingredients

  • 1 kg  Day of the Dead Bread Mix
  • 300 g  Egg
  • 100 ml  Water
  • 50 g  Fresh yeast
  • 60 ml  Orange juice
  • 300 g  Candied orange and lemon
  • 40 g  Espiga® Fine Flour
  • 5 g  Vegetable shortening
  • 300 g  Butter
  • 250 g  Refined sugar
  • 100 g  Powdered sugar
  • 20 g  Lemon juice
  • 5 g  Grated lemon or orange zest

Preparation

Dough

  1. Weigh all the ingredients precisely and add the fresh egg, yeast, orange juice, half the water, and the Pan de Muerto Mix to the blender’s mixing bowl.
  2. Mix with the dough hook on speed 1 for 1 minute.
  3. Knead on speed 2 for about 10 minutes, gradually adding the rest of the water until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the dough forms a smooth, elastic ball.
  4. Set aside 400 g of the dough and mix it with 40 g of white flour and 5 g of vegetable shortening; you'll use this later to shape the little bones.
  5. Chop the candied citrus fruits into small pieces and stir them into the main batter; let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  6. Weigh the main dough into 70-gram portions, shape them into balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Shape the little bones from the dough you set aside and place them on top of the pieces. Let them rise again until they double in size.
  8. Bake at 160 °C for about 25 minutes, then let cool.

Completed

  1. Brush the pieces with melted butter and wait about 4 minutes for the butter to dry.
  2. Sprinkle each piece with granulated sugar.
  3. Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and glaze the pieces with this mixture; finally, garnish with lemon and orange zest.
