Pan de Muerto

              Some of the most known bread that is made for El Dia de Muerto is called pan de muerto and you may ask why is called pan the muerto? Well, it is called pan the muerto no just because it is made especially for El Dia de los Muertos, but also because when the bakers are making it, they make it seem like it’s a dead person. The pan de muerto bread is a delicious bread that has a flavor of orange and it is covered in sugar. People tend to buy this bread to put it on the altars when they create them, but people also buy this type of bread any other day. The reason people like putting this type of bread on their altars is because it is into a form of a dead person and since we celebrate the day of the death, it goes with the theme. The pan de muerto is not only made in the form of a dead person but is also made like a tombstone with a dead body on top. Just because this bread is made for the day of the death it doesn’t mean that the people who are alive can’t eat it, most of us do anyway. What is common to do is to make hot chocolate so the bread can be eaten with it. It is also important to know that the people who put this type of bread on their altar bake it themselves most of the time and don’t just buy it.
