If you know me, I love recreating dishes I’ve tried in cafes or restaurants. This mayo bread is one of those recipes. I had tasted this at a nearby bakery and loved it so much, I had to make it again.

This recipe is not like regular bread. There is a chicken mayo topping. Which is then toasted to create a bubbly toasted appearance.

About Mayo Chicken Bread

Chicken mayo bread is a thick mayo chicken filling topped on a soft bun and baked to perfection. The soft, fluffy bread is topped with a thick chicken filling and baked until golden.

These are perfect to put in your kids’ lunch boxes or would make a great after school snack. The dough and filling can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just like my fried chicken rolls.

The creamy chicken filling is really delicious and when baked the top layer forms a crust-like crust and tastes really good.

I used my homemade pizza dough as the base and it was so soft, light and fluffy. The top layer is so juicy and soft that it is delicious.

I made the top layer soft because this is my little one’s favorite, but you can add more cayenne pepper to make it super spicy. You can even add some colorful peppers to make it super colorful.

Ingredients

• Pizza Dough – I used my homemade pizza dough as the base and it was very soft, light and fluffy.
• Chicken – Chicken must be boiled first before cutting and using as a topping. Chicken breast, or chicken thighs can be used.
• Mayonnaise – one of the main ingredients for making cream toppings. You can also use it without eggs or mayo.
• Spice – Flavorings such as salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, sugar are used.
• Cheese – use mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese for the filling.
• Egg – Egg wash is used to brush the top of the bread so that the topping doesn’t make the bread soggy.

Making Dough

1) Start by making the pizza dough. I made a basic pizza dough for the bread. check the dough recipe.

Make the Filling

2)Put the chicken in salted water. Bring to a full boil, reduce heat and cook on low for 8 to 10 minutes.

3)Now the chicken should be cooked. Remove from water, let sit for 15 minutes. Cut into small pieces.

4) Take minced chicken in a bowl. Instead of cutting it, you can shred the chicken.

5)Add mayonnaise to the chicken. You can use vegetable or regular mayo.

6)Add salt, sugar, pepper, chili flakes, Italian seasoning.

7)Add grated cheese to the chicken.

8) Mix well and your topping is done.

Forming the Dough

9) Take some dough. This is for one loaf. Use enough dough.

10) Divide the dough into three equal parts, because we will braid the bun.

11)Now roll the dough into a rope. Place them close to each other. In this way we will braid the bun.

12) Bring the top edges together and glue them well.

13)Now take the end of the rope and place it over the middle rope. And the first rope goes over the last rope. Start braiding the bun like this.

14)Now the bread is braided well. This helps the bread hold the toppings better. Tape the two ends.

15) Twist the braid to create a coil.

Baking rolls

16) Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased baking sheet. Let the bread rise for 15 to 20 minutes.

17) During the last 10 minutes or when you wake up. Preheat oven to 220 degrees C (440 degrees F). Take the bread and brush the top with egg. This prevents the filling from making the bread soggy.

18) Spoon the filling on top. Be generous with the content.

19)Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. It will feel warm and golden in color.

20) Serve hot.
