Instructions:

Prepare Pizza Dough:
- Dissolve yeast, sugar, and salt in warm water.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and the yeast mixture; beat with an electric mixer for several minutes.

Chicken and Vegetable Preparation:

Assembling the Dish:
- After the dough has risen, and the chicken has finished baking, turn the dough onto a lightly floured board.
- Cut off a small piece of dough, about the size of a tennis ball, to use for a top decoration.
- Form the remaining dough into a ball and roll it out to a 12 x 17-inch rectangle.
- Place the chicken, breast side down, in the middle of the dough.
- Arrange the assorted vegetables around the chicken.
- Wrap the sides and ends of the dough over the chicken.
- Turn it right side up and place it on a baking sheet. Brush the surface with beaten egg.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Roll out the reserved piece of dough.
- Using a cookie cutter, cut out a design and place it on top of the dough-wrapped chicken.
- Brush with egg for a golden finish.
-
Baking:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake the assembled dish for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown.
