Muy Pronto!  Pan de Muerto!

Death bread!  Clearly a Dia de los Muertos delicacy!  I turned to Wikipedia (the authority on Mexican culture) for some education, but alas, the entry is paltry.  I did, however, appreciate their description: “a soft bread shaped like a bun with bone like pieces.”

Why doesn’t anyone ever bake bread shaped like this?:

1 rawhide bone

Thanks to Rachel for sending in!

    Because it looks like a rawhide dog bone?
