Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour 480 grams
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast 9.3 grams
  • 2 tablespoon powdered milk 16 grams
  • 1 teaspoon salt 6 grams
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil 57 grams
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1 teaspoon castor sugar 4 grams
  • 1 cup lukewarm water 237 ml 110 - 115 F

Chicken Filling:

  • 2 cups chicken boiled shredded, 280 grams
  • 2 small onions 250 grams omelette cut
  • ¼ teaspoon carom seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon nigella seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salt 5.69 grams
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper crushed, 2.3 grams
  • 4 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour 28 grams
  • 2 tablespoon butter 30 grams
  • ½ cup mushrooms 45 grams
  • ½ cup red capsicum 75 grams
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream 115 grams
  • ½ cup milk 100 grams

Instructions

Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, castor sugar, milk powder, yeast, oil, and egg.
  • Knead slightly warm water into a medium soft dough.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into the bowl and coat the dough on all sides. Wrap it in a clean cloth or plastic wrap.
  • Allow the bread to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Chicken filling:

  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Sauté the carom and nigella seeds for a few seconds. Sauté the chopped omelet cut onion for 3-4 minutes, or until it is slightly golden.
  • Stir in the flour for a minute. While constantly stirring, add the heavy whipping cream and milk.
  • Stir in the salt, red chili powder, and coriander leaves for a minute.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, mushroom, and capsicum until the milk evaporates and the consistency thickens.

Preparing the Bread:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Make three equal parts of the dough. Each bread will weigh approximately 450 grams.
  • Roll each ball into a rectangle and cut the rectangle's sides diagonally from top to bottom.
  • Fill the center with the chicken filling.
  • Fold over the diagonal slits in a crisscross pattern, one slit on top of the other, and continue until the bread is finished.
  • Finally, press the bread together. The bread will be shaped like a fish.
  • Finish the bread with an egg wash and sprinkle with sesame and nigella seeds. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the middle rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is light brown and crisp.
