Cheesy Chicken Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

• In a bowl, combine 2 cups of plain flour, 1½ tsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 1½ tsp yeast. Mix well.

Step 2: Add Liquids

• Gradually add ½ cup milk, 2 tbsp oil, and ½ cup lukewarm water to the dry ingredients.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

• Knead the mixture into a semi-soft dough. Add more flour if necessary to ensure it’s not too sticky.

Step 4: Let the Dough Rest

• Spread a little oil over the dough and cover it. Allow it to rest for about 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5: Prepare the Chicken Filling

• In a pan, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add 1 small chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.

Step 6: Cook the Flour

• Add 2 tbsp of plain flour to the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Step 7: Add Milk

• Gradually add ½ cup milk to the mixture, cooking until it thickens to a creamy consistency.

Step 8: Season the Mixture

• Season with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and ½ tsp chili flakes. Stir well to combine.

Step 9: Add Chicken and Cheese

• Add ½ boiled and shredded chicken breast and ½ cup of mozzarella cheese to the mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 10: Roll Out the Dough

• Once the dough has rested, roll it out with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangular shape.

Step 11: Add the Filling

• Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Then, fold the dough over to seal the edges and create a loaf shape.

Step 12: Prepare for Baking

• Brush the top of the loaf with 1 beaten egg. Sprinkle black seeds over the top for added flavor and texture.

Step 13: Bake the Chicken Bread

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the bread in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 14: Serve and Enjoy

• Once done, take the bread out of the oven. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
