Chicken Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 cup butter (softened)
• 1 egg
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 small bell pepper (diced)
• 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced, optional)
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
3. Add the yeast mixture, warm milk, and softened butter to the well. Mix to combine.
4. Add the egg and mix until the dough begins to come together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Filling:

1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
2. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms (if using) and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the shredded chicken, soy sauce, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the grated cheese.

3. Assemble the Chicken Bread:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Spread the chicken filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log.
5. Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down. You can shape it into a loaf or a ring if desired.
6. Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if using.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

4. Serve:

1. Let the chicken bread cool slightly before slicing.
2. Serve warm or at room temperature as a perfect high tea snack!

Enjoy your homemade chicken bread!
