Chicken Bread - Step by Step

Step 1 - Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Brush some softened butter over it.
PS: Although the recipe doesn't call for it, I normally dab a touch of butter to this to make it ultra-yummy. :)
Ingredients for dough
4 cups all purpose/plain flour
1 tbsp. instant yeast
2 tbsp. powdered milk
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. oil
egg 1 (plus 1 for glazing)
1 tsp. castor sugar
In a bowl mix together 4 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. castor sugar, 2 tbsp. milk powder, 1 tbsp. yeast, 4 tbsp. oil and 1 egg, knead to a medium soft dough with slightly warm water, leave to rise for 1 hour. Divide the dough into two or three depending on how big you want the loaves. Proceed with viewing the subsequent steps to see how the bread is shaped.
Step 2 - Put your filling in the center of the rectangle and make slits on both of the longer sides.
Ingredients for chicken filling
1 ½ to 2 cups chicken boiled and shredded
1 medium or 2 small onion chopped finely
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. coriander leaves
4 chopped green chilies
1 tsp. garam masala powder
2 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. butter
1 cup milk
Sesame seeds as required
Heat 2 tbsp. butter fry onion till soft then add 2 tbsp. flour with 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. garam masala.
Add the milk, cook till thick, mix in the shredded chicken add chopped green chilies and coriander leaves, remove and cool completely.
The filling will look like this: Creamy Chicken Filling
Step 3 - Start bringing the topmost slit ends across from each other alternately.
Step 4 - Keep going, remember to alternate, like a crisscross fashion. Left to right...right to left.
Step 5 -This is how it will look as you get further down the bread with the crossing of the sides/braiding.
Step 6 - When you reach the end, leave a tail at the bottom, just for the appearance. You can just tuck everything neatly in if you like, but I prefer to have that bit of a tail at the bottom of the loaf. :)

Step 7 - Grease a tray and place your breads. The recipe says to make 2 loaves but I prefer dividing it into three and making three average sized loaves. That is up to your preference!
Step 8 - Apply egg-wash and sprinkle the sesame seeds...then bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for about 25 minutes or until done.
(Egg-wash means to beat an egg with a tsp. of water then brush it all over your bread)
Here's a twist to the chicken bread, you can make them in baby size too...this is how they look before baking...
Final result - Voila! Enjoy your delicious chicken bread!!
Right after taking out of the oven apply butter well on whole bread and let it rest covered with a cloth for 2-3 min to soften the bread completely.
TIP: I always make big batches of chicken bread at a go and then wrap them well in cling film or foil, then put them in some sort of a cellophane bag and tie it up tight and freeze. They can keep up to 4 weeks! When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it's thawed out, then unwrap and zap it in the micro for a minute or so until it warms up, and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new! :)

love looks by heart not by eyes (must Read)

 

One day, a young guy and a young girl fell in love.
But the guy came from a poor family. The girl’s parents weren’t too happy.
So the young man decided not only to court the girl but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.
But there was another problem: The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he was being sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on his knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” She wiped a tear, said yes, and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would get married.
But tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular accident. It was a head-on collision.
When she woke up in the hospital, she saw her father and mother crying. Immediately, she knew there was something wrong.
She later found out that she suffered brain injury. The part of her brain that controlled her face muscles was damaged. Her once lovely face was now disfigured. She cried as she saw herself in the mirror. “Yesterday, I was beautiful. Today, I’m a monster.” Her body was also covered with so many ugly wounds.
Right there and then, she decided to release her fiancé from their promise. She knew he wouldn’t want her anymore. She would forget about him and never see him again.

For one year, the soldier wrote many letters—but she wouldn’t answer. He phoned her many times but she wouldn’t return her calls.
But after one year, the mother walked into her room and announced, “He’s back from the war.”
The girl shouted, “No! Please don’t tell him about me. Don’t tell him I’m here!”
The mother said, “He’s getting married,” and handed her a wedding invitation.
The girl’s heart sank. She knew she still loved him—but she had to forget him now.
With great sadness, she opened the wedding invitation.
And then she saw her name on it!
Confused, she asked, “What is this?”
That was when the young man entered her room with a bouquet of flowers. He knelt beside her and asked, “Will you marry me?”
The girl covered her face with her hands and said, “I’m ugly!”
The man said, “Without your permission, your mother sent me your photos. When I saw your photos, I realized that nothing has changed. You’re still the person I fell in love. You’re still as beautiful as ever. Because I love you!”
For those who have given up on Love, I say Trust in Life a Little Bit

Its Friday,enjoy your day

Newest Family planning methods to rapidly decrease Abortions(ladies)

With this method no more abortions in your life

Abortion is violation of human rights

Physical Effects Of Abortion  Ninety-seven percent of aborting women, in one Montreal study, reported pain,with 61% reporting moderate to severe pain. U.S. researchers admit to being "surprised," at finding most women, in a study of their own, reporting "moderate or more discomfort" during their abortions and said they had not expected so many to report "severe pain." Adolescents in the Montreal study were nearly twice as likely to report severe pain as older women. In a ranking, women put their abortion pain ahead of sprains, fractures, and arthritis, and about equal to the residual pain from an amputation. Women having drug induced abortions reported higher pain levels than those having surgical abortions. Despite efforts by the industry to minimize abortion pain, it is an important signal that patients and doctors should heed. Pain may be a side effect of surgery or the chemical abortion process, but can also be an indicator of infection, cervical damage, uterine rupture, or an unresolved ectopic pregnancy. Common Abortion Side Effects, Complications and Injuries From Chemical Abortion Severe Pain, Cramping, Nausea, Diarrhea Hemorrhage, Infection Rupture of Undiagnosed Ectopic From Surgical Abortion Infection, Sepsis, Endometritis Cervical Lacerations Uterine, Bladder, or Bowel Perforations Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Incomplete Abortion, Retained Tissue Later Infant Disability Preterm birth is associated with lower birthweight and higher rates of cerebral palsy, often leading to physical and mental disability. Future Miscarriages Decreased cervical resistance due to forced dilation may result in early cervical failure and the spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) of future pregnancies. Future Prematurity Premature birth is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality, and at least 10 international studies show previous abortions significantly increases that risk. Abortion Related Causes of Death Anesthesia Infection Hemorrhage Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy Embolism Physical Damage Surgical abortion may harm a woman’s reproductive system, damaging her uterus or cervix, leading to future reproductive problems. Chemical abortions (using RU486, etc.) are bloody, painful, and dangerous, and the long term effects on the body are unknown. Future Infertility Women having abortions face more than a doubled risk of future sterility. Later Ectopic Pregnancy A study appearing in the American Journal of Public Health in 1998 found aborting women facing a 50% increased risk of having a subsequent ectopic or tubal pregnancy. The risk was nearly twice as high (90%) for women having two or more previous abortions. The Abortion Breast Cancer Link: Pregnancy & Normal Breast Development In pregnancy, as estrogen levels elevate, immature milk glands, or lobules, begin to grow and   differentiate, reaching maturity around 32 weeks. By birth, the lobules are fully formed and ready for milk production. A full term pregnancy is known to lower a woman’s long term risk of breast cancer. Abortion Interrupts Breast Development Abortions, which typically occur in the first or early second trimester, interrupt the process of breast   development while estrogen is still surging, urging growth, but before full differentiation has taken place.Thus, the risk-lowering effect of full term pregnancy is lost. Even worse, lobules stuck in this growth stage are susceptible to replication defects, which may eventually manifest themselves as cancers. Scientific Evidence of Abortion’s Impact Thirteen out of 17 studies in the U.S. reported more breast cancer among women who chose abortion. A 1996 meta-analysis of all published reports on the incidence of induced abortion and breast cancer appearing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found, on average, a 30% increased risk. Adverse Public Health Consequences of Abortion Two government funded studies from Finland that studied deaths among all women of childbearing age within one year after pregnancy found higher death rates among women who aborted, as well as higher rates of death from suicide, accidents and homicide. The Finland Studies also found a lower death rate among women who gave birth than among women who had not been pregnant suggesting that birth had a protective effect. A study using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that women whose first pregnancy ended in abortion had a higher risk of clinical depression than women whose first pregnancy ended in birth. A study using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth found that children of women with a history of abortion were more likely to receive a lower level of emotional support in the home between ages 1-4 and were more likely to have behavior problems between ages 5-9 than children of women with no history of abortion.
