  4. Add the foamy yeast mixture, whisked egg and oil to the dry mix.

  6. The dough should be very sticky but manageable. If you think the dough is too sticky to manage, then add 1-2 tbsp of flour and knead again.
  7. Shape into a ball and apply oil all over. Place in a bowl, cover and keep it aside until it is doubled in size.
  8. While the dough is proofing, let’s prepare the chicken
