Bread day of dead without yeast?
Mexican Pan de Muerto: Yeast-Free Version
Ingredients:
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390° F). Grease a baking tray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, softened butter, egg, vanilla extract, and orange juice until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft and slightly sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead gently for a few minutes until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Shape the dough into a large skull shape. Traditionally, Pan de Muerto has decorative designs that resemble bones on the top, which can be created using a knife or toothpick.
- Place the skull-shaped dough on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the dough with a little water and sprinkle with some extra sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow the Pan de Muerto to cool completely before slicing and enjoying.
Note: While this version of Pan de Muerto is made without yeast, it will not have the same texture as the traditional yeasted version. However, it still provides a delicious and satisfying alternative if you don't have access to yeast or prefer a yeast-free option.
