I think my baker has gone bezerk....thankfully!
In Mexico; food is celebration. Bread is not just ‘bread’. Each season has its own celebration breads, all with unique flavors and textures.
Two classics: Concha Wiki: Concha (plural conchas, meaning "shell" in Spanish) is a typical Mexican sweet bread (pan dulce). A concha consists of two parts, a sweet bread roll, and a crunchy topping (composed of sugar, butter and flour). [1]Conchas get their name from their round shape and the striped, broken "shell-like" appearance of their topping. Though the sweet roll is usually the same flavor, the top layer may have different flavors or colors (strawberry, coffee, chocolate, etc.). Conchas are popular in bakeries in Mexico and throughout the US. They are usually consumed with coffee at breakfast or as an afternoon snack at merienda. (Image from Google) ...and Pan de Muerto (love it!!!!) Wiki: Pan de muerto (Spanish for bread of the dead), also called pan de los muertos or dead bread in Mexico, is a type of sweet roll traditionally baked in Mexico during the weeks leading up to the Día de Muertos, which is celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd.[1] It is a sweetened soft bread shaped like a bun, often decorated with bone-shaped phalanges pieces. Pan de muerto is eaten on Día de Muertos, at the gravesite or alternatively, at a tribute called an ofrenda. In some regions, it is eaten for months before the official celebration of Dia de Muertos. In Oaxaca, pan de muerto is the same bread that is usually baked, with the addition of decorations. As part of the celebration, loved ones eat pan de muerto as well as the relative's favorite foods. The bones represent the deceased one (difuntos or difuntas) and there is normally a baked tear drop on the bread to represent goddess Chimalma's tears for the living. The bones are represented in a circle to portray the circle of life. The bread is topped with sugar. (Image from Google) |
