Hola! I'm Ale Kuri, a third-generation Lebanese, born and raised in Mexico City, and currently living in Austin. Although I felt like an outsider during my first few Texan years, I realized that sharing my love of food drew me closer to people and defined who I am, where I came from, and where I’m going. You'll currently find me cooking at Este, a newly opened Mexican seafood restaurant in East Austin (come say hi if you're in town!) 🎉 Marisa Sanchez-Dunning is the talented creative behind If Only Creative, a chicana-owned studio based in CA. We're both proud of our roots and traditions, so we decided to team up to bring you a Dia de Muertos classic to celebrate Hispanic Heritage and honor one of the most important people in her life, her dad. When talking with Marisa, she said how he used to have a huge sweet tooth and how he loved gummy bears and anything vanilla so we're hoping for this citrus-vanilla scent that's filling up my kitchen gets to him in some kind of way, wherever he might be ✨ Pan de Muerto 6 pc. // 1 active hour, 7.5 hrs. total Ingredients - 2⁄3 cup condensed milk - 1 tbsp. salt - 3 tbsp. mexican vanilla extract - Zest of 1 orange - 1 cup butter - 1⁄4 cup warm water - 1 tbsp. instant yeast - 3⁄4 cup sugar - 5 cups all-purpose flour - 6 eggs For coating - 1 cup sugar - 1 egg - 1 small packet of your favorite jello flavor, i recommend orange or strawberry Full recipe in bio 🙌🏽
