Rosca

This Techi, the woman that we rent our house from. The bread is called Rosca. January 6th is called Dia de Reyes. Day of the Kings. It is celebrated as the day that the wisemen came to see the baby Jesus. It custom to serve this bread on that day. The bread is a sweet bread with cinnamon, dates, and a jelly like topping. Baked inside the bread is a small baby like toy, maybe more than one. If your piece of the bread contains the baby, you are required to make the tamales for Febraury 2nd. I'm not sure what the celebration on that day is, but will let you know when I figure it out! I don't think it is the groundhog!

The baby.

I got not just one slice with the baby in it, but 3 out of  3 different loaves of this Rosca. I don't have any idea how to make tamales. I'm sure that someone will teach me. I guess I shouldn't eat so much bread.
