Tips
Use warm, not hot milk. If the milk is too hot, it can kill the yeast and the dough won’t rise as well. Ideally, it should be around 37°C (body temperature).
If your kitchen is cold, place the dough in a turned-off oven with a small bowl of hot water. This creates a warm, humid environment for perfect rising.
Marinate the chicken a few hours in advance for a deeper flavor.
Add salt to taste.
Stappenplan
Add the lukewarm milk, honey, and yeast to a bowl. Mix well and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add the flour, salt, and softened butter. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth.
Cover and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Wash and cut the chicken thighs into small pieces. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, salt, ras el hanout, cayenne powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Let it cool.
Deflate the dough and divide it into 7 equal pieces, each weighing about 95 grams.
Take a ball of dough and roll into a flat circle.
Place a slice of cheese on top and spread a portion of the chicken mixture over it. Fold the dough in half.
Place the dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let it rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven at 220°C (428°F) for 12-18 minutes until golden brown.
