Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix well.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, then start kneading. Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes, and sauté in a pan with a little olive oil. Add finely chopped garlic, black pepper, and freshly chopped cilantro, then sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
4
Divide the risen dough into two parts, then roll each part into a circle on a floured surface.
5
Spread the tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, then place the cilantro chicken, grated mozzarella, and cheddar on top.
6
Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press the edges together to seal and prevent the filling from leaking.
8
Brush the top with beaten egg, and prick a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
