How to make bread of the dead

• Dissolve yeast in water, then add 1 cup of the flour. Stir to make a soft sponge.
• Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Set aside 1/2 cup flour.
• To the yeast mixture add the remaining flour mixed with salt, sugar and the cooled butter that has been mixed with eggs, anise water, orange blossom water and orange rind.
• Mix well and turn out on a board floured with the remaining 1/2 cup flour. Dough will be soft, so keep hands floured and knead lightly.
• Pat into a greased bowl and set in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours to rise.
• Shape into a round loaf in a 9-inch diameter pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 30 minutes.
• Cool and frost with confectioners sugar mixed with vanilla extract and only enough milk to make a glaze of frosting consistency.
• Glaze only the top. Sprinkle with pink sugar crystals.
