Ingredients

  • 1 kg  Day of the Dead Bread Mix
  • 300 g  Egg
  • 150 ml  Water
  • 40 g  Fresh yeast
  • 130 g  Pistachio
  • 40 g  Espiga® Fine Flour 
  • 5 g  Vegetable shortening
  • 50 ml  Milk
  • 100 g  Egg
  • 200 g  Powdered sugar
  • 20 ml  Water
  • 1/2 drop of cgreen food coloring
  • 100 g Pistachios

Preparation

Dough

  1. Weigh all the ingredients precisely and add the fresh egg, yeast, 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 remaining water until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the dough forms a smooth, elastic consistency. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  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. Add the pistachios (previously chopped into small pieces), weigh out the dough into 70-gram portions, roll them into balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  6. 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.
  7. Mix the egg with the milk to glaze the pieces using a brush.
  8. Bake at 160 °C for about 20 to 25 minutes, then let cool.

Completed

  1. Mix powdered sugar, water, and a small drop of green food coloring to glaze the pieces, and immediately top them with chopped pistachios.
