Method
1. Make the dough: Mix flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add the warm milk, warm water, oil, egg and butter. Knead until you have a soft, smooth dough. Cover and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Prepare the dough: Roll the dough into a large circle on a lined baking tray. Place a ring of grated cheese around the centre, leaving the middle empty.
3. Cut and braid: Cut the outer dough into strips from the cheese ring toward the edge. Fold and overlap the strips around the cheese to create the braided border.
4. Add the filling: Place the cooked chicken, sliced chicken sausage and sweet corn in the centre. Season lightly and spread evenly.
5. Top and bake: Add more grated cheese over the filling. Brush the braided dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake at 180°C for 25–35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Slice and serve: Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then cut and enjoy
