Pan de Muerto, is a fragrant sweet bread that has deep roots to ancient Aztec rituals and Spanish symbolism. Because of its fragrant qualities, the bread is said to serve as one of many ways to call on passed friends and loved ones; it is the centerpiece on many altars during the Day of the Dead. The multi-day holiday, known in Latin America as El Di´a de los Muertos is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.
Pan de Muerto, meaning bread of the dead in Spanish, is made up using a sweet dough. The buttery dough contains orange peel and additional Agua de Azahar (orange blossom water). The breads are typically made up to represent a tomb or in some cases a corpse; our focus will be the tombs. Tumbas represent the bones and skull of the deceased loved one.
Students will learn about the process and techniques behind Tumbas (tombs), made in different sizes and using different decorating techniques. During the fermentation stage of the yeast-raised dough, students will learn how to make Polvorones de Naranja (orange flavored butter cookies). An easy cookie recipe with deep Moorish roots and flavored with orange peel.
The students will take home two iconic recipes, and a few boxes of sweet breads and pastries that can be enjoyed with loved ones. A great way to celebrate life all year long.
