Pulque Bread

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast) and mix well.
2. Form a crater and add ½ egg and anise and start mixing little by little. Continue mixing while adding the pulque little by little, forming a heavy dough.
3. Add the room temperature butter little by little while kneading, until a soft, smooth dough is obtained.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and proof until it doubles in size (approximately 45 Minutes).
5. Once the dough rises, punch it while kneading for 1 Minute, and form 4 rolls of approximately 4 ½ oz (130 grams).
6. Grease and flour a stainless steel bowl or container, add the braid, and let rest for 15 Minutes.
7. Glaze the bread with a bit of pulque and sprinkle brown sugar and sesame seeds on top.
8. Place the stainless steel inner pot inside the Instant Pot®, insert the rack, add 3 cups water, and then insert the greased container with the rolls.
9. Close and lock the Instant Pot® lid. Make sure the steam release handle is turned to Sealing. Press Steam and set time to 15 Minutes.
10. Once the time is up, press Cancel and turn the steam release handle to Venting. Once all the pressure has been released, open the lid.
11. Remove the bread and let cool at room temperature.
