    Water temperature should be lukewarm (around 105-115°F or 40-46°C) to activate the yeast without killing it.

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 7-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Add a tiny bit more flour if too sticky, but avoid adding too much.

    Proper kneading develops gluten, essential for a soft and chewy crust.

    Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

    While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken filling. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it softens, about 3-5 minutes.
