My aunt has been making this wonderful bread for years. You can make it ahead and serve it cold. It makes a great appetizer, and is wonderful left over. It also travels well, and is a hit at pot-lucks! Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast |
2 1/2-3 cups flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 cups chopped cooked chicken |
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese |
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 beaten egg white |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional) |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Mix cheese, spinach, chicken, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon salt for filling.
3. Set aside.
4. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water.
5. Mix yeast mixture, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup flour in a mixing bowl.
6. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups flour to dough.
7. Knead dough until smooth, using other 1/2 cup flour if dough is sticky.
8. Roll dough into a 16 x 10-inch rectangle.
9. Spread filling down the middle of dough.
10. Bring dough edges together and seal.
11. Place seam-side down on lightly greased cookie sheet.
12. Brush bread with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
13. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes.
14. Serve warm, or cool and refrigerate.
