Ingredients:
For the Chicken Filling:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (boneless, skinless)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
1 tablespoon soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (optional)
For the Dough:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
1 large egg
For the Topping:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds (optional)
1. Prepare the Chicken Filling:
Cook Vegetables:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened.
Add Garlic and Spices:
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Combine Chicken and Cheese:
Add the shredded chicken and mix well.
Stir in shredded cheese and chopped parsley or cilantro. Cook for a few minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture is well combined.
Optionally, add soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Make the Dough:
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour in melted butter, warm milk, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough:
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
3. Assemble the Chicken Bread:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shape the Dough:
Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface.
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
Add Filling:
Spread the chicken filling evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
Roll and Seal:
Starting from one end, carefully roll up the dough like a jelly roll or a log.
Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Slice:
Allow the chicken bread to cool slightly before slicing.
Enjoy your Chicken Bread! It’s a delicious and hearty option that’s perfect for parties, gatherings, or a savory treat.
