Description

The chicken criss-cross pastry is one of my favorite braided and stuffed bread. This bread is ideal for tea parties. Mostly, people like to serve it with spicy garlic sauce, but you can do variations with the sauce. Hers's the easiest recipe for you.

  3. step 3
    • Cut diagonal slits in the long sides of the rectangle and stuff with the chicken filling.
    • Fold the slits in a crisscross pattern, fold neatly from the ends.
    • Repeat this for the second dough part. Brush the bread with an egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
    • Place the bread on a greased baking tray and bake for about 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
