Instructions
- Step 1
In a bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour and salt and knead for about 8–10 minutes until you get a smooth, soft dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Step 2
Cook the chicken breast in salted water until fully done. Remove, let cool slightly, then shred (pull apart) with two forks.
- Step 3
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, chopped chipotle and honey. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and sticky.
- Step 4
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each piece slightly, add a generous spoon of the honey chipotle chicken filling and the shredded cheese in the center, then close and roll into a ball.
- Step 5
Grease a round baking dish. Place 1 ball in the center and arrange the other 5 around it, like a flower or star shape.
- Step 6
Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 7
Bake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 8
Mix melted butter with adobo sauce and chopped herbs.
- Step 9
As soon as the bread comes out of the oven, brush generously with the chipotle butter.
- Step 10
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes, this keeps the top soft and fluffy.
