Oaxacan baking lives at the intersection of pan de yema, the egg-yolk-rich bread the city dunks in stone-ground chocolate, and a newer masa-madre sourdough movement. In the Centro historico, Boulenc on Porfirio Diaz and Pan con Madre on Quetzalcoatl lead the natural-leaven wave, while Chocolate Mayordomo on Mina mills cacao to order for the drinking-chocolate tradition. The Mercado 20 de Noviembre pan dulce row keeps the older home-baker conchas and pan de muerto alive.
