    Time: PT3M

  3. First rise

    Lightly oil a bowl, place the dough inside, cover with a cloth and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours, or until it triples in volume.

    Time: PT2H

    Temperature: 25°C

  4. Shape the rolls

    Deflate the dough, divide into 8 pieces of 50 g each (weigh). Roll each piece into a disc about 1 cm thick, place on parchment paper, cover with a cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.

    Time: PT30M

  5. Cook the rolls

    Heat a pan over medium‑low heat, cook each roll 2‑3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Critical Success Points

  • First rise of the dough (2 h) – the dough must triple in volume.
  • Rub the coating with fingers to obtain the right texture.
  • Fry the chicken at 170 °C – crucial temperature for crispness without burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Frying oil reaches 170 °C: handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Use kitchen gloves when moving the hot bread.
  • Do not let the dough rise in a place that is too hot (> 35 °C) to avoid over‑fermentation.
