Homestyle Chicken Sandwich

01

Step 1

Start by mixing the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a jar. Give it a good stir, cover it, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until it gets frothy.

02

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and start kneading until you get a soft, smooth dough. Add the oil and knead again until it’s well incorporated. Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rest for about an hour.

Step 3

While the dough is rising, heat some oil in a pan. Sauté the chopped garlic for a minute, then add the onions and cook until they’re soft. Toss in the ground chicken and cook until it turns white.

Step 4

Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, then add the chopped capsicum. Cook for another minute before stirring in the cheese and mayonnaise. Mix everything well, then turn off the heat and set it aside.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls. Lightly flour your work surface, flatten each ball, and spoon the chicken filling into the center. Make some cuts around the edges and carefully braid the dough over the filling.

Step 6

Place the braided dough on a baking tray, brush the top with beaten egg, and sprinkle some black seeds on it. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
