Summary

[edit]
Description
Español: Es una rosca de pan muy estilada en México cerca de época navideña, se come en 6 de enero, preparada con harina de trigo, azúcar, manteca vegetal (o aceite y mantequilla), ralladura de limón y naranja, leche de vaca, huevo, azúcar, y levadura entre otros ingredientes según la región. Se barniza también con huevo y leche para favorecer el dorado de la costra de pan.

Se adorna con una pasta de harina, manteca, mantequilla, azúcar y algunos saborizantes naturales como vainilla, chocolate, canela, etc. además de Ate de Morelia (puré de membrillo u otros frutos, canela , azúcar, agua todo preparado en un cazo de cobre, lo cual evita la oxidación de los frutos que se usen), también se usan nuez pecana, cerezas, higos en conserva, entre otros ingredientes.

Dentro se colocan algunas figurillas que representan al niño Jesús, a quien le toque la suerte de obtener uno en su rebanada tradicionalmente prepara "tamales (masa de maíz nixtamalizado o harina de maíz, cocinada al vapor envuelta en hojas de maíz o plátano, con leudante, sal, manteca animal o vegetal, y distintos rellenos que van desde los picantes y salados, hasta los dulces)" en el mes de febrero para todos los asistentes que estuvieron presentes para degustar la rosca.

La rosca está cargada de simbolismo, pero es muy variable y vago, desde que representa la búsqueda de Jesús por parte de los "Reyes Magos" Melchor, Gaspar y Baltazar, hasta el amor divino sin fin por eso la forma toroidal que no tiene principio ni fin, los frutos representan las joyas de una corona o pueden ser los obstáculos sorteados para alcanzar a el niño Jesús, también se dice que las figuras de los niños ocultas en el pan, simbolizan cuando los padres de Jesús lo ocultaron del Rey Herodes.
English: It is a very styled bread in Mexico around Christmas time, it is eaten on January 6, prepared with wheat flour, sugar, vegetable shortening (or oil and butter), lemon and orange zest, cow's milk, egg, sugar, and yeast among other ingredients depending on the region. It is also varnished with egg and milk to favor the browning of the crust.

It is decorated with a paste of flour, vegetable shortening, butter, sugar and some natural flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, cinnamon, etc. In addition to "Ate de Morelia" (quince puree or other fruits, cinnamon, sugar, water, all prepared in a copper pot, which prevents the oxidation of the fruits used), pecan nuts, cherries, caramelized figs are also used, among other ingredients.

Inside are placed some figurines that represent the child Jesus, whoever is lucky enough to obtain one in his slice traditionally prepares "tamales (nixtamalized corn dough or corn flour, steamed wrapped in corn or banana leaves, with leavening, salt, animal or vegetable butter, and different fillings that go from spicy and salty, to sweet)" in February for all attendees who were present to taste the rosca.

The thread bagel is loaded with symbolism, but it is very variable and vague, since it represents the search for Jesús by the "Three Wise Men" Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar, to the endless divine love that is why the toroidal shape that has no beginning or no end, the fruits represent the jewels of a crown or they can be the obstacles overcome to reach the baby Jesus, it is also said that the figures of the children hidden in the bread, symbolize when the parents of Jesus hid him from King Herod.
