Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt.
Add warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough and transfer it back to a floured surface.
Gently knead in shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with the damp cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it rises just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread for about 35-40 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
