  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, eggs, salt, and butter. Using a dough hook, mix at medium speed while gradually adding the milk until you have a smooth and homogeneous dough. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it ferment for 20 minutes until it doubles in size.
  • For the filling, in a bowl, mix the butter with the flour until you have a homogeneous paste. Reserve.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough until it is 5 mm thick, spread the filling over the dough until completely covered, and roll the dough as shown in the video.
  • To portion the dough, cut it in a way that covers the filling, shape it into balls, and place them on a previously floured and/or greased baking tray, brush the pastries with butter, and let them ferment for 20 minutes.
  • With your hands, gently press the pastries to flatten them and bake at 170°C for 20 minutes.
  • For the mole, in a small pot over medium heat, heat the chicken broth, add the mole paste, and with the help of a spoon, dissolve while stirring continuously. Add the chocolate tablet and cook for 20 minutes on low heat, stirring constantly, and adjust seasoning. Reserve.
  • Add the cooked and shredded chicken and let it cook for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and reserve.
  • Cut the pastries in half and fill with chicken and mole, and enjoy.
