Ingredients
460 g all‑purpose flour
6 g baking powder
8 g salt
40 g crushed cheese nachos (coarse)
15 g honey
25 g butter, softened
275 ml lukewarm water
30 g crushed nachos (for coating)
Sunflower oil (for shaping)
700 g chicken thighs, cubed
4.5 g salt (for chicken)
3 g cayenne powder
4 g onion powder
3 g garlic powder
2 g black pepper
25 ml olive oil
20 g sweet soy sauce (ketjap manis)
40 g hot chili sauce
60 g mayonnaise
Extra nachos (for serving)
Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Instructions
- Grind 40 g nachos into coarse crumbs using a food processor.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed nachos. Add honey, butter, and water. Knead 10–12 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Season chicken with salt, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and olive oil. Mix and set aside.
- Divide dough into 8 balls (~100 g each). Grease hands and flatten each ball gently.
- Cover and let rest for another 30 minutes.
- Grease the work surface again. Stretch each dough ball into a 30 cm round.
- Sprinkle extra crushed nachos over each round. Fold top and bottom toward center, then sides inward to form a square.
- Flatten into ~20 cm square, then fold again into a rectangle. Seal gently.
- Place parcels on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 200 ℃ for 20–25 minutes until golden.
- While baking, cook chicken in a pan for 4–5 minutes. Add soy sauce and chili sauce, cook another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mayonnaise until creamy.
- Serve warm bread pockets with creamy chicken, nachos, and lettuce on the side.
Notes
- Adjust cayenne or chili sauce to control spice level.
- Add shredded cheese or herbs like cilantro or green onion to filling for extra flavor.
- Replace chicken with roasted cauliflower or chickpea mash for a vegetarian option.
- Use BBQ, garlic aioli, or chipotle mayo as alternative sauces.
- Unfilled bread can be frozen and reheated in oven before serving.
