To begin making the Chicken Stuffed Bread recipe, let us make the bread dough.

For the bread dough 

1

In a small bowl, add yeast and sugar, add lukewarm water to it and mix well. Cover and set aside for 5 mins for the yeast to activate and froth up. 

2

In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, oil and mix well. Add in the yeast mixture and milk. Mix well using a fork. Add little warm water as needed. Knead this to a soft dough. Knead well for 12-15 minutes. You can also use a food processor to knead the dough. 

3

Now drizzle with little of oil and incorporate it in the dough.  Cover with a damp muslin cloth and set aside to rise for 1 hour.

4

When the dough is risen, punch the air out and knead it once more. Add more flour if it is too sticky.

For the filling 

1

Melt butter in a pan on medium heat and add flour stirring continuously. 

2

As soon as the flour gets slightly brownish, add warm milk and stir well to remove any lumps. Let it cook and thicken.

3

As the sauce thickens, add salt and pepper to taste. Now add the shredded boiled chicken. Mix well and remove from the heat and set aside.

To shape the dough 

1

Divide the dough four portions, to make medium sized breads. 

2

Take one portion of the dough, flatten it between your palms and using a rolling pin, roll it into rectangular shape.

3

Now place the rectangular sheet of dough vertically in front of you on the working counter, with the help of a knife/pizza cutter, make cuts from 1 inch away from the edge to the end of the edges with a gap of 1 cm. 

4

Make sure the cuts are even numbered.Spoon some filling in the center,add grated cheese and oregano and start braiding.

5

Fold the top and bottom part of dough and starting from one end, start braiding each pair of strip (overlapping)till you reach the end. 

6

Place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 

7

Cover with damp muslin cloth and allow to rise for another hour. once it has risen, gently brush well with beaten egg.

8

Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius and bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or till top gets browned well.

9

Bake this for 12 minutes at 180 degree C. Now increase the heat to 220 Degree C and bake for 5 to 8 minutes until you see a nice brown colour on the bread. Remove it and serve warm.
