Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 300 g flour
- 5 g salt
- 1 g Italian seasoning
- 5 g instant yeast
- 20 ml sunflower oil
- 10 g honey
- 150 ml water
Extra
- Herb cream cheese (amount as desired for spreading)
- Grated cheese (amount as desired for topping)
- Italian seasoning (for sprinkling)
Chicken Mixture
- 25 g butter
- 20 ml olive oil
- 400 g chicken thighs, chopped
- 150 g yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 g cayenne powder
- 2 g garlic powder
- 2 g onion powder
- 1.5 g black pepper powder
- 7 g chicken stock cube, crumbled
- 75 ml heavy cream
- 250 g cheese mix (such as mozzarella and cheddar), shredded
- 1 g Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and instant yeast. Add sunflower oil, honey, and water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean cloth and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Cook the Chicken Mixture: In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add chopped chicken thighs, then season with cayenne powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, crumbled chicken stock cube, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the shredded cheese mix. Cook until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Assemble the Bread: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread a layer of herb cream cheese evenly over the dough. Then, spread the cooled chicken mixture on top. Roll the dough carefully into a log or fold as preferred, then place it onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle grated cheese and Italian seasoning on top for extra flavor.
- Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the assembled bread for 25-30 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese on top is melted and bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Be sure to allow the chicken mixture to cool before spreading on the dough to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred, but thighs offer more moisture and flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning levels to taste, especially the cayenne powder for heat.
- Using a mix of mozzarella and cheddar in the cheese blend adds both meltiness and sharpness.
- Make sure to knead the dough thoroughly for a soft, airy texture in the bread.
