Pan de muerto is a Mexican pan dulce traditionally baked for Día de Muertos. You may be familiar with the sugar-dusted version decorated with shapes that evoke crossed bones. But in Mitla, a small town close to Oaxaca, the pan de muerto takes on more intricate designs drawn on with a white sugar paste. At panaderia_alex7 this tradition of bread making is being kept alive by Héctor García, his son Alex, and their extended family. Everyone young and old takes part in the process and it’s work that the family, but Don Hector in particular, take immense pride in due to the importance of the bread as part of the Dia de Muertos celebration.
