Hola Susana,

Puedes usar extracto de anis o extracto de naranja y son 2 1/4 cucharaditas de levadura o 7gr. Si la masa te queda muy humeda usas mas harina hasta que obtenga una consistencia con la que se pueda trabajar.

Luego me dices como te quedo. Saludos!

Ben! Voy a hacer esta receta esta tarde, luce deliciosa. Dos preguntas – 1. con que reemplazo el orange blossom water, y 2. cuantas tablespoons de levadura tiene el paquete que utilizas???? (porque mi levadura viene en tarros). Saludos desde Santo Domingo! Cocinotas

Yours looks a bit prettier than the one my kids made . Not sure I could take one of your loaves and leave it at a grave site.__Thanks for linking to their home-school project. We've been having fun baking and learning some geography and culture.____

I didn't use powder milk, only the 100 ml of regular milk. Try using more flour if your dough is too wet. Differences in altitude, air humidity and temperature can affect it. More flour should work.

I am making this right now, but the dough is too wet. I watched the video afterward and heard the chef say "50 gr de leche en polvo", but you put "milk" in the list of ingredients. Did you use powdered milk or the regular, liquid type? If the former, what can I do to dry up my mixture? Should I add a little powdered milk or leave it as is? Also, he mentioned regular water, so I ... See all content

Even though el Día de los Muertos will have passed by the time I make these for my stepdaughters, I plan to make these this week. I cannot wait. These are perfect. I know mine will not even come close to how perfect yours are, but I am sure they will be delicious. Thanks for posting this recipe and the videos.

The breads sounds (and looks) gorgeous Ben and I loved the little videos! I think the celebration itself, the party so to speak, is a bit similar to Halloween in terms of the costumes etc. but I love the thought behind the Dia de muertos… it is really the ultimate way to celebrate life and to remember your friends and family that passed on. Beautiful… Although I did expect to see Chucky ... See all content

I want to make time in my baking schedule for this. I have anise extract. I was at a Mexican Bakery the other day and was fascinated by the breads and rolls.

Bread with orange blossom water sounds extremely appealing. I feel like making this right away - the orange blossom and your beautiful pictures are the inspirations! Love those cute pitchers.

Mmmm... I have some Oaxacan chocolate Mayordomo in my pantry -- I think you've convinced me to make a pitcher when I get home tonight.. (not that it would be a hard fete, Mexican hot chocolate is the best!)
