Instructions
Make Dough
- In a mixing bowl, add flour, yeast, salt, sugar, 2eggs, and butter or olive oil. Now slowly add warm water to make a soft dough.
- You can use a mixer or knead it with your hands.
- With the help of a brush, cover the dough with a thin layer of oil and then cover it with a paper towel. Keep it in a warm place to rise. I turn on my oven for 5 minutes and then turn it off before leaving the dough to rise.
Make chicken filling
- To make the filling, boil the chicken until it’s tender. Now shred the chicken and mix it with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, mayonnaise, cheese, chili flakes, and diced spring onions.
- You can use a stand mixer with whisk attachment or use a hand mixer. If you are using an electric whisk you don’t need to shred the chicken in the beginning.
Shape the bread
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Once the dough is ready, divide it into 14-16 sections depending on the size of the tray. Roll the dough in a rectangle, making slits on half of the dough but not to the end. Check the video for instructions. Now add a tbsp of the filling on one side. Roll it to give the shape of a roll. Make sure to tuck in the ends. now tightly pack these in a try.
- To shape it like a fish, divide the dough into three sections and roll a rectangle shape. Now add prepared filling and cheese in the center. With the help of scissors or a pizza cutter make slits on both sides, then bring the dough to the opposite sides to make a zigzag pattern.
Bake the bread
- In a bowl whisk one egg and brush it on the bread. Once the oven is preheated to 375°F bake the bread for 30-40 minutes or until it gets the beautiful golden brown color on top.
- Melt 2 tbsp of butter and apply to the bread. Cover with a towel or serve right away.
