Place the flour on a flat surface, leaving the center free, then add the yeast and salt on top of the flour, but be careful not to mix the salt and yeast. Then gradually add the sugar and water, mixing everything. Finally, add the bran before adding all the water and mix until the mixture pulls away from the surface. Place the dough in a bowl and let it ferment for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Mix the flour, water, egg, and sugar in a bowl for 2 minutes or until the mixture is homogeneous and lump-free. This is called atole. Set aside. Divide the dough into pieces of 130 g each, then form balls with your hands and set aside. Without cutting, take one of the dough balls and pinch it at ¾, as seen in the video, forming two balls together, but one should be smaller. Then twist the smaller ball and place it underneath the larger one. Sprinkle the surface with a little flour and bran, flatten the edges forming a hat, but be careful, as the edges will be thin. Flip the cemita and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remember that the cemita needs to be well covered with flour and bran. Brush the cemita with the atole mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let it rest for 30 minutes and bake at 180 °C for 25 minutes. For the milanesa: Season the milanesa with salt and pepper, coat it in flour, then dip it in egg and milk, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Set aside. Fry the milanesas in a pan with enough hot oil for 5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Place on a plate with paper towels and set aside. Cut the bread in half and cover the bottom part with avocado, add the milanesa, Oaxaca cheese, pápalo, and finally the chipotle chili. Enjoy.
