Pan de Muertos - Receta #2

A little more effort- a lot better product

Ingredients :

½ cup milk

¼ cup butter

¼ cup sugar

½ tsp salt

1 envelope dry yeast

2 eggs

2 – 1/3 cup unsiftedall purpose flour

½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Bring milk to scalding. Remove from heat and stir in butter (in small

pieces), sugar, and salt. Let cool.

2. In a bowl, mix yeast with ¼ cup warm water. Let stand about 5 minutes.

Add milk mixture, 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk and flour. Blend well. Place

dough on a well floured board and knead until smooth and velvety, about

5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until

doubled. (take about 1- ½ hours). Knead again on a floured board to expel

air bubbles.

3. Cut off a 1/3 cup sized piece of dough. Set aside. Divide the remaining

dough in 3 equal parts. Shape each into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid

ropes together, pressing ends to hold securely. Place on a greased baking

sheet and join ends firmly to make a wreath. Divide reserved dough in

half. Shape each portion into a bone. Cross bones on top of wreath.

4. Cover lightly and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until

puffy looking. Brush gently with 1 slightly beaten egg white. Mix cinnamon

and 2 teaspoons sugar, sprinkle into loaf, avoiding the bones. Bake in a

350 oven for about 35 minutes or until richly browned. Cut in wedges.

Serve warm with butter.
