Join panadero Arturo Enciso of Gusto Bread for a traditional hot chocolate demonstration followed by a presentation on pan de muerto: the seasonal pan dulce made for Día de los Muertos. Arturo will dive into his family's relationship to this celebration, and explain how he came to develop his own recipe for a naturally leavened whole foods version of this pan dulce, which has become an Autumn staple at his Long Beach bakery. A Q&A will take place afterwards, so please come with your questions about this very unique traditional bread! Plus, stay until the end of the webinar and Arturo will let you in on what he's planning to do to make the last week of Pan de Muerto at Gusto Bread this year even more special! 

Arturo Enciso is a baker from Lebec, CA that has called Long Beach his home for over 10 years. His early days in Long Beach were filled with music and community, being a part of grass roots organizations and events, and simply living the good life the city has to offer. As a self-taught baker for the last 7+ years, he’s grown his hobby into a career with his business Gusto Bread, a panadería orgánica (organic bakery) on Retro Row in Long Beach (storefront just opened in August 2020). The bakery uses only masa madre (sourdough) for making breads and pan dulces, embracing ancient knowledge and using only organic products. He believes that good food and bread provide a beautiful way for people to connect with one another, to traditions and wisdom of the past and create community for a brighter future together.
