To make pan de muerto, you will need:

Three packages of yeast, which should add up to about 21 grams.

1/3 cup of warm water

2 cups of unbleached, all purpose flour. You will also need to add more as you knead the dough.

15 teaspoons of raw cane sugar

½ cup of margarine or lard. We used Crisco shortening.

3 eggs plus 7 egg yolks. The yolks will give the bread a warm yellow color

1 teaspoon of anis extract which we found at Hornbachers

The zest from one orange

5 Tablespoons of fresh orange juice, approximately the juice of one orange

1/3 teaspoon of salt.

One and a half tablespoons of chopped pecans.
