Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm milk and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Cook the Chicken: Cook chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or grilling until fully cooked. Shred the chicken into small pieces.
- Sauté and Season: In a skillet, sauté chopped onion and bell pepper until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the shredded chicken, paprika, black pepper, and parsley. Cook for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
- Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Roll out each half into a rectangle. Sprinkle half of the chicken mixture over each rectangle, leaving a small border. If using, sprinkle cheddar cheese over the chicken. Roll up each rectangle tightly, starting from one end. Place the rolled loaves seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add different vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Use different cheeses like mozzarella, provolone, or pepper jack.
- Spice it up with a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- For a richer flavor, brush melted butter over the loaves before baking.
