Ingredients
- 1 kg Day of the Dead Bread Mix
- 200 g Espiga® Fine Flour
- 300 g Egg
- 150 ml Water
- 50 g Fresh yeast
- 150 g Honey
- 5 g Vegetable shortening
- 300 g Butter
- 70 g Caramelized amaranth
Preparation
Dough
- Weigh all the ingredients precisely and place the fresh egg, yeast, honey, half the water, the "Pan de Muerto" mix, and 160 g of white flour into the mixer bowl.
- Mix with the dough hook on the first speed setting for 1 minute.
- Knead on the second speed setting for 10 minutes, gradually adding the rest of the water until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the dough forms an elastic consistency.
- Once the ingredients are fully incorporated, let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- 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.
- Weigh the main dough into 70-gram portions, shape them into balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- Shape the little bones from the dough you set aside and place them on top of the pieces.
- Let it rise again until it doubles in size, then bake at 160 °C for about 20 to 25 minutes. Let it cool.
Completed
- Brush the pan de muerto with melted butter, then wait about 2 minutes for it to dry.
- Coat each piece with caramelized amaranth.
