For the atole: Pour a little milk into a container.
Add a packet of Maizena® walnut atole and mix. Let it boil with the rest of the milk for 5 minutes.
For the bread: In warm water, place the yeast and sugar until it forms foam.
Place the butter in the mixer with the hook. Heat the milk and add it to the mixer. Mix.
Add the warm water with the sugar, the 2 eggs, the 1 ½ cups of flour, the salt, and mix very well.
Gradually add the remaining flour until well incorporated and the dough is elastic.
Let it rest in a warm place, covered with plastic wrap in a buttered container for 40 minutes.
Punch down and cut in half if making medium rings or leave it whole.
Roll out the dough on a floured table with a rolling pin and form a rectangle. Place the figurine at one end of the ring and carefully roll it up while pressing tightly.
Cover the edge with beaten egg or water so it sticks well.
Cover both edges with egg and open one edge to tuck in the other edge to form the ring well, place it on a baking tray.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for 1 ½ hours or until it has doubled in size.
For the Sugar Crust: Mix 75 g of vegetable shortening, ¾ cup of powdered sugar, ½ cup of wheat flour, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until you obtain a firm paste. Let it rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Decoration of the ring: Cut what you will use to cover the ring. (You can use red cherries, strips of ate, and candied fruit).
When it has doubled in size, gently cover the ring with beaten egg. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
With the palms of your hands, flatten a small ball of the sugar crust to form a medium strip.
Place on the ring but do not let it touch the tray, it should be a few cm away from the tray as it spreads when baked.
Decorate with candied fruit, ate, and cherries to taste, and sprinkle a little sugar on the parts of the sugar crust.
Bake for 20 minutes, placing it in the furthest part from the flame to help prevent the bottom of the ring from burning.
Let it rest for a few minutes and place it on a rack to cool.
Serve warm, cold, or as you prefer, but accompanied by Maizena® walnut atole.
