  • Finally, add chopped spring onion, stir well and remove from heat.
  • Cool the chicken mixture completely before using it as stuffing for any dish.

  • In a large mixing bowl combine together flour, milk powder, egg, oil and yeast mixture. With water make a soft and smooth dough.
  • Place the dough in a bowl smeared with oil and keep it in a warm place for 1 hour or till the dough rises to double its size.
  • Punch down the dough after it has risen. And now the dough is ready for the preparation of chicken bread.

  • Grease a baking tray with some oil and preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

  • Place the chicken stuffing on one side of the disc and fold over the other half.
  • Seal the edges with help of a fork. Brush the top portion with some egg white and sprinkle sesame seeds.
  • Repeat this with all the dough parts and place them on a greased baking tray.
  • Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or till it turns golden from outside.
  • Serve warm as brunch or breakfast.
