Instructions

1

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 bubbly and frothy.

Step 2

In a big bowl, combine the flour and salt, then pour in the yeast mixture. Mix everything together and knead 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 an hour.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Stir in the chopped capsicum and cook for another minute. Finally, add 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 and flatten each ball. Spoon some of the chicken filling in the center, then make a few cuts around the edges and braid the dough over the filling.

Step 6

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