La Lechera Pan de Muerto

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is celebrated in Mexico and certain parts of Central America and the U.S. On November 1 and 2, people honor their deceased relatives with colorful masks, flowers and grave decorations. This yeasty, glazed egg bread, Pan de Muerto, is commonly round with pieces of dough on top representing bones and skulls. This recipe is simple and hearty, with only a small dusting of sugar. Enjoy alone or with a sweet dip.
