Using a serrated bread knife, cut pan de muerto into 0.3-inch thick slices. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working one at a time, fry pan de muerto slices until brown and crispy (on both sides) and set aside. In a pot, place granulated piloncillo, water, cinnamon, star anise, and orange peel and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes or until a honey-like semi-thick texture is obtained. Remove from heat. In a baking dish or pan, arrange a bed of fried pan de muerto slices. Add raisins and peanuts. Repeat with the remaining bread. Pour piloncillo syrup all over the bread making sure it is completely soaked. Bake at 356 °F for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven. Top pan de muerto capirotada with shredded Cotija cheese.
