Pan de Muerto

The signature food of Día de los Muertos, this round, pillowy Mexican bread, with hints of citrus and anise, is crisscrossed with bread “bones” that symbolize the bones of the deceased. This recipe makes three small loaves, so you can enjoy a loaf or two and then place the third one on your home altar as a gift in honor of a departed loved one. Serve a slice of this bread with a cup of café de olla or Mexican Hot Choco
