Directions
-
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm chicken flavor milk/water mixture. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
Add the ginger, gluten, and half of the bread flour to the yeast mixture. Beat until smooth.
-
Stir in the remaining bread flour and the wheat flour until a soft dough forms.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
While dough rises, prepare the stuffing mix: combine dried onion, salt, poultry seasoning, chopped celery, drained mushroom slices, and beaten egg in a bowl. Mix in cooked, shredded chicken if using fresh, or use prepared stuffing mix.
-
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
-
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
-
Roll the dough up tightly from the long side, sealing the edge firmly. Pinch the seam and ends to close.
-
Place the loaf seam-side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes until nearly doubled.
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
-
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm.
