Pan Dulce y Dia de los Muertos

Dia de Los Muertos wouldn’t be the same without pan dulce. Our hosts explore the history of wheat and pan dulce, with a focus on the ubiquitous concha. Mexico City baker and instructor, Eliceo Lara, shares his childhood recipe for rebanadas. Eliceo Lara’s Rebanadas Recipe Instructions: • Cut a loaf of bread into thick slices. Sourdough or brioche work great. • Make a simple buttercream by incorporating 1/3 cup of room temperature butter and 1/3 cup of powdered sugar. • Spread buttercream on your sliced bread. • Separately, add a layer of regular granulated sugar to a flat plate. • With the buttercream slide facing down, press your sliced bread to the sugar on the flat plate. • When you lift it - the top of your bread (the side with buttercream) should be left with a thin crunchy layer of sweetness. • That’s it! Enjoy with your coffee or tea in the morning. Want to take an online cooking class with Eliceo? Learn more here.
