the beginning

Established in 2007, Juquilita Bakery offers a variety of traditional Mexican bread with an authentic Oaxacan flavor. We specialize in bread that is most common in the state of Oaxaca, such as yellow bread (pan amarillo), serrano bread, egg yolk bread (pan de yema), and semitas. The bakery offers a piece of tradition from our culture to yours. We not only offer Oaxacan-style bread, but we also provide a sweet variety of bread, pastries, cakes, custards, chocoflanes, and other assortments in the store. You cannot miss our seasonal bread such as Rosca de Reyes and Pan de Muerto in January and October!

Specialty Breads

Pan de Muerto

Pan de Muerto is one of the most traditional breads that is celebrated from October 31 to November 2. While many may think that there is only one type of Day of the Dead bread, but that would be a lie. Depending on the regions of Mexico, there may be several bread differences depending from one state to another. Juquilita Bakery offers 3 types of Day of the Dead bread. The most recognized bread is one that is coated with sugar and has a cross shape on top of the bread. The second one is similar to the most popular with the difference of red or pink sugar on top. This colored bread comes from the state of Puebla. Lastly, the Oaxacan-style egg yolk bread contains a face in each bread that is made out of flour and painted with food coloring. Although the Yema (egg yolk) Bread is the most preferred in the state of Oaxaca, during the Day of the Dead season, egg yolk bread is a bread that is offered all year round with the exception of the face not in the bread anymore.

Pan de Yema or Egg yolk bread is an exceptional type of rich and sweet bread. What makes it a distinct bread is that it contains egg yolks but aniseed as well. This type of bread can be served at any time but is best paired with authentic Mexican Hot chocolate that consists of cacao beans, sugar, and almonds.

Rosca de Reyes

The Rosca de Reyes is a bread celebrated on January 6 recognized as the day of the kings. That day is when children traditionally receive gifts from the three wise men. It usually contains a figurine representing the baby Jesus, but the thread we make normally contains 2.3, or 4 depending on the size of the Rosca de Reyes. The hidden figurine symbolizes when Mary and Joseph hid Jesus to save him from the Massacre of the Innocents of King Herod. He who finds the baby Jesus is blessed and must take him to church on February 2. Traditionally in Mexico, the same person who discovers the baby Jesus figurine must take it to the church for a blessing, as well as organize a dinner that normally consists of tamales and atole for the guests.

Our version of the Rosca de Reyes consists of the same dough as the egg yolk bread, but topped with a confectioners sugar and shortening to make it sweeter and candied citrus fruits.
