Dalcy, head chef at Mestizo Mexican restaurant in London suggested this traditional Day of the Dead recipe for a dense, soft bread, decorated with dough bones.
Makes 2 loaves
1. In a bowl, mix the water and the yeast, stirring to make sure the yeast disperses well.
2. Mix the flour into the yeast mixture.
3. Add the sugar, salt, eggs yolk, butter and orange peel.
4. Knead together until you get a greasy dough.
5. Whilst kneading, slam the dough firmly onto the work-surface to make little bubbles in the mixture.
6. Leave the mixture to rest for 5 hours.
7. When the dough has risen, split the mixture in two. Take 1/3 from each half to one side and shape the rest into a ball.
8. Roll the dough you took to one side into a sausage and form into dough 'bones'. Place these on top of the dough balls.
9. Brush the top of each loaf with milk and sprinkle some sugar on top
10. Cook in the oven at 200°C for 30 minutes.
