    Ensure water is lukewarm (around 105-115°F or 40-46°C) for yeast activation. Do not use hot water.

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.

    A good kneading develops gluten, essential for a light and airy bread texture. The first rise develops flavor.

    While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken mixture. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and saut t e until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced chicken, 3 gr salt, cumin, and paprika powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Set aside to cool slightly.

    Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken to ensure it browns instead of steams. Adjust spices to your preference.

    Once the dough has doubled, gently punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches (30x40 cm).

    Avoid using too much flour when rolling to prevent a dry dough. Aim for even thickness.

    Spread the cooled chicken mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken mixture.

    Ensure the chicken mixture is cool to prevent the dough from getting too warm and potentially affecting the rise.

    Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam closed to seal. Transfer the log to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for a second time in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until visibly puffy.

    A tight roll ensures the filling is distributed evenly and the bread holds its shape. The second rise (proofing) makes the bread light and tender.

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the top of the risen bread with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water) for a golden crust. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    An internal temperature of 200-210°F (93-99°C) indicates the bread is fully baked. Keep an eye on the color to prevent over-browning.

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the internal structure to set and prevents the filling from spilling out.
