Pan de Los Muertos, translated to Bread of the Dead, is a butter-and-egg-rich sweet yeast bread, traditionally baked in Mexico for Las Dias de Los Muertos, November 1st and 2nd. The living honor the dead at home, in the streets, and at the cemeteries.

This bread is placed at an altar in the home, then carried to the cemetery to 'share' with passed loved ones.

Online research came up with many very similar recipes. Here is mine:

Although I've been practicing making sourdough bread, this was my very first attempt at something different. I was thrilled how this turned out. The first loaf was completely devoured in a matter of minutes by family and friends. I sent this second loaf of the batch off with friends, but not before taking a couple of pictures of it. Kinda wish I had cut it open to see how it looked inside....maybe next time. :)
