Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Red bell pepper, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegan egg wash (e.g., a mixture of almond milk and olive oil)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 4

While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add chopped red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Dice chicken breast into small cubes and add to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink and well-cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 8

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 9

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches, on a lightly floured surface.

Step 10

Spread the chicken filling evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 11

Roll the dough from one long edge to the other, tightly, to form a log. Seal the edges and ends by pinching them together.

Step 12

Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down. Brush the top with vegan egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the bread rest for 15 minutes.

Step 14

Bake the chicken bread for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 15

Allow the bread to cool slightly on a wire rack, then slice and serve warm.
