Comments on: Pan de Muerto http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/31/pan-muerto/ Notes from my kitchen, in which I bake bread and raise a few other matters Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:25:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Susan http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/31/pan-muerto/#comment-996 Susan Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:03:12 +0000 http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2007/10/31/pan-muerto/#comment-996 Hi Barbara, thanks, and glad you stopped by! Kellypea, I have seen the bread shaped in different ways, sometimes like a skull or corpse. I'm not sure if each shape is typical of a specific region. Hi Barbara, thanks, and glad you stopped by!

It's funny that living in San Diego all these years, and working with immigrants, I've never seen the shape before. Your's turned out beautifully! I love the idea of the orange flower water.

Anh, I'm looking forward to reading about your grissini. Your photos are always so beautiful. Deborah, the shaping is my favorite part. I need to figure out how to keep the bottom knobs (epiphyses, for the anatomists) from getting obscured as the bread bakes. Tanna, it was fun to make. And I loved learning a little more about this holiday where the connection between life and death, sadness and joy, is celebrated with gusto.

I'd always call it dead bread. Thank you for posting the recipe! It won't be in tiem to celebrate Día de los Muertos, but I think I'll try it soon. Yours looks great!
