HOW TO MAKE SPICED CHICKEN STUFFED BREAD
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix semolina, flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add olive oil and warm water gradually while mixing.
Knead for about 10–12 minutes until you get a smooth and elastic dough.
Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 2: – Prepare the Cheese Mixture
Combine grated cheese, finely chopped yellow onion, parsley, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
Step 3: – Cook the Spiced Chicken Filling
Heat olive oil in a pan. Add diced chicken and cook until lightly golden.
Season with paprika, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, and salt.
Once cooked, remove from heat and mix with mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sambal, red onion, green olives, and cheddar cheese.
Let the mixture cool slightly before using.
Step 4 – Shape the Rolls
Divide the risen dough into 9 equal portions.
Roll each piece into a rectangle (about 7x8 inches).
Brush with melted butter, sprinkle some cheese mixture, and add a generous amount of chicken filling.
Fold into a sealed parcel and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture on top.
Let rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 5 – Bake
Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C).
Bake for 12–18 minutes until golden brown.
Immediately cover with a clean towel after taking them out to keep the rolls extra soft.
STORAGE TIPS
• Store: In an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: In the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
• Freeze: Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
FAQ SECTION
Can I substitute the chicken?
Yes! Minced beef or turkey works great. For a vegetarian option, try using sautéed mushrooms.
What if I can't find fine semolina?
You can use all-purpose flour for the entire recipe, but the semolina gives it that authentic "bakery" texture.
Is it very spicy?
The paprika and cumin are mild. If you prefer no heat, simply skip the cayenne and sambal.
