One of our personal favourite recipes and a definite keeper of a recipe!
Makes 2-3 medium loaves
Ingredients for Dough
4 cups plain/all purpose flour
1 tbsp. instant yeast
2 tbsp. powdered milk (optional)
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. oil
1 egg (plus one for glazing)
1 tsp. castor sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder (to reduce any yeasty smell)
Ingredients for Chicken Filling
1 1/2 - 2 cups chicken boiled and shredded (250-300 gm when uncooked)
2 small onions (finely chopped)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. coriander leaves
4 green chilies (chopped)
1 tsp. garam masala powder
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. butter
1 cup milk
sesame seeds as required
Instructions
For the Chicken Filling:
Heat 2 tbsp. butter fry onions until soft then add 2 tbsp. flour with 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. garam masala.
Add the milk, cook until thick, mix in the shredded chicken, add chopped green chilies and coriander leaves, remove from the heat and cool completely.
For the Dough:
In a bowl mix together 4 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. castor sugar, 2 tbsp. milk powder, 1 tbsp. yeast, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 4 tbsp. oil and 1 egg. Knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water, leave to rise for 1 hour.
Now divide the dough into two or three parts depending on what size loaves of chicken bread you want. Roll the dough to a rectangular shape, snip the sides with scissors or a knife, put filling in the center and fold each side so they overlap each other (like a braid) the filling will show slightly but that’s ok, brush top with beaten egg, sprinkle sesame seeds and bake on 200 degree C for 25 minutes or so.
Right after taking the loaves out of the oven apply butter well on the whole bread and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.
I always make big batches of chicken bread at a go and then wrap them well with foil, then put them in some sort of a plastic bag, tie it up tight and freeze. They can keep up to 4 weeks! When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it’s thawed out, then unwrap and zap it in the micro for a minute or so until it warms up, and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new! 🙂
