Ingredients
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 15g active dry yeast
- 250ml whole milk, lukewarm
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 50g sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 200g cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 200g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Add melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture, then pour into the well of the dry ingredients.
- Mix until the dough comes together, then knead on a floured surface until smooth (about 8-10 minutes).
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and red bell peppers, sauté until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Add shredded chicken and diced avocado, mix well, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out to a large rectangle (approximately 60x40 cm). Cut it into 8 equal squares.
- Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and avocado mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a pocket, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the finished pockets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with the egg wash.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm.
