Preparation
For the dough: In the mixer bowl, place 3 cups of flour, yeast, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
Attach the dough hook and run the mixer for a few seconds to mix the ingredients.
Add the oil and milk, then run on low speed to get a smooth dough.
Add the remaining flour if needed, ensuring the dough is smooth and elastic.
Run the mixer on low speed for 3 minutes.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, brush the surface with a little oil, cover with plastic wrap, and put in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size.
Cut the dough into discs the size of an egg or slightly smaller.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough pieces with a rolling pin to medium-sized discs.
Place the discs on an oiled tray, leaving 2 inches between each, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 15 minutes until doubled.
For the chicken mixture: In a food processor, place onion, garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, coriander, olive oil, and yogurt.
Run on medium speed until a smooth sauce is obtained.
In a deep dish, place chicken pieces, add the sauce, and mix to coat.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Prepare wooden skewers and thread 2-3 chicken pieces per skewer.
To shape the sandwiches: Heat an electric grill well.
Place chicken skewers on the meat grilling side with raised grates.
Place a few dough discs on the smooth side of the grill.
Flip the chicken to cook well and flip the sandwiches until golden and cooked.
For serving: Open the sandwich or bread from the middle, add a little mayonnaise and lettuce, insert a skewer of chicken into the sandwich, and serve immediately.
