Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, water, and melted butter, then pour into the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, tomato paste, smoked paprika, cumin, and hot sauce, cooking for an additional minute.
- Incorporate shredded chicken, then fold in cream cheese and shredded mozzarella until combined. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- After the dough rises, punch it down gently, divide into equal portions, and flatten into discs. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center, fold the edges, and pinch to seal.
- Place sealed buns seam-side down on a parchment-lined tray and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush tops with beaten egg and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve.
