Preparation Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

1. In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and lukewarm water. Stir to dissolve and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to activate and froth.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the Vivatta Maida (flour), salt, and sunflower oil. Mix together.
3. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and warm milk. Use a fork to mix everything together. Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, as needed to bring the dough together.
4. Knead the dough for about 12-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and soft. You can use a food processor if desired. Once kneaded, drizzle a bit of oil over the dough and incorporate it by kneading again.
5. Cover the dough with a damp muslin cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Preparing the Filling

1. In a medium-sized pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for a minute or two until the flour turns slightly golden.
2. Gradually add the lukewarm milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Add the shredded, boiled chicken to the sauce and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3: Shaping the Bread

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air, and knead it briefly again. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour.
2. Divide the dough into four equal portions for medium-sized breads.
3. Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape.
4. Place the dough rectangle vertically in front of you. Using a knife or pizza cutter, make parallel cuts along the edges of the dough, about 1 inch away from the center, leaving a gap of about 1 cm between each cut. Be sure the cuts are even in number.
5. Spoon some of the chicken filling into the center of the dough, then sprinkle with grated cheese and dried oregano.
6. Begin braiding the dough by folding the top and bottom parts over the filling and overlapping each strip alternately from one end to the other until you reach the end. This will create a braided pattern.

Step 4: Final Rise and Baking

1. Place the braided bread onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover the bread with a damp muslin cloth and let it rise for an additional hour.
2. Once risen, gently brush the top of the bread with a beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
4. After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 220°C (430°F) and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes to achieve a deep brown color and crispiness on the bread.
5. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
