Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 400 g flour; 130 ml water; 130 ml milk; 1 tsp dry yeast (8 g); 1 tsp sugar; 1 tsp salt (5 g); 60 ml oil; 350 g chicken breast, diced; 1/2 onion, finely chopped; 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1/2 tsp ginger paste; 1/2 tsp garlic paste; Salt, pepper, turmeric, and paprika (to taste); Parsley, cilantro, or other fresh herbs (optional); 2 tbsp grated cheese; 1 egg; 1 tbsp milk; 1 egg yolk + 1 tsp milk (for gilding); Sour cream (for serving, optional); Lettuce leaves (for garnish, optional)

Directions

1. Step

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast. Add the milk, water, and oil, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5–7 minutes until soft and elastic. Cover and let it rest for about 30–40 minutes until it slightly rises.

2. Step

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute the onion, bell pepper, and garlic until softened. Add the diced chicken, ginger paste, garlic paste, and spices. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Roll out the dough into a round, about 10 cm in diameter (consider increasing the size to accommodate filling). In a bowl, mix grated cheese, egg, and milk. Spread this mixture over the dough. Spread the cooked chicken mixture evenly over the dough. Brush the edges with egg yolk and milk for a golden finish. Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
