Pan De Muerto

Pan de Muerto is a sweet bread flavored with anise, orange peel and orange glaze specially made to be placed on ofrendas and graves. The breads are baked for both the living and the dead and come in many different animal and human shapes. More traditional loaves are round with a central raised knob of dough, representing the skull, and crossed bone-shaped decorations radiating from the central knob.
