Bread of the dead:

Add the warm milk mixture along with the eggs and mix well.
Add the orange zest and mix until well mixed.
Add \u00bd cup of flour and continue adding more flour until the dough is smooth.
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead until it reaches a soft, elastic consistency and does not stick to your hands.
Form a ball and place it in a greased bowl.
Cover with a slightly damp cloth and let it rest for 1 to 2 hours in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
Punch down the dough with your fist and divide it into 3.
Form two balls, place on a greased tray and cover with a cloth. Put in the oven when turned off or leave in a warm place.
Divide the remaining dough into 6 equal pieces.
Form two balls and form the remaining 4 into little bones.
Stretch the dough with your fingers, leaving fat at the ends to form the little bones.
Place on another greased tray, cover with a cloth and put in the oven with the oven turned off.
Let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.
Beat the egg for the glaze. Cover the breads (balls) with egg using a baking brush and stick the bones on. Cover the bones with egg and stick the ball or head on.
