  • Use a mixer with a hook attachment to mix the flour, salt, yeast, and orange zest. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, slowly pour in the milk. Then, add the condensed milk and vanilla and beat for 1 minute to combine well.
  • Add the eggs one by one, mix, and add the sugar. Beat for 3 minutes or until well incorporated and there are no lumps.
  • Incorporate the butter in parts and mix well. You will obtain a homogeneous, elastic, and translucent dough.
  • Dust a flat surface with flour, place the dough, and divide it into two. Shape both halves into balls and add the cocoa water to one of the halves. Start incorporating with your hands, shape into a ball, and transfer each piece of dough to a greased container. Let it ferment for 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
  • Dust a flat surface with flour and divide the dough into pieces of 60 grams, but remember to leave a portion for the bones. Shape into balls until you finish with the dough, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Take a small ball of cocoa dough and roll it out with a rolling pin, then do the same with a ball of regular dough and place it on top of the one with cocoa. Repeat the process until all portions of dough are used.
  • Fold the corners of the dough down and shape into perfect balls. Place on a greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper.
  • Dust a flat surface with flour and start forming the bones with your fingers, making strips. You can choose which dough you would like to use for the bones. Arrange the bones on top of the bread and let it rest for 10 minutes. Brush with egg.
  • Bake the pan de muerto at 170 °C for 40 minutes. Brush with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Let cool and set aside.
  • Cut a piece of marbled pan de muerto and enjoy it with a hot chocolate.
