- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening
- 2 cups of all-purpose breadfruit gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions:

Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is simmering (about 3 to 4 minutes), stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and dump in the flour and xanthan gum. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Add the milk/cream by the tablespoonful, and knead into the dough until it is smooth.

- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for an hour. This is an important step.

- cook chicken and then filled the rolled dough with chicken.
