Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian cheese bread, featuring a soft and fluffy dough filled with a mixture of cheeses. This delightful dish is perfect for cheese lovers and serves as a great appetizer or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup warm water around 110°F
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup cheese blend (feta and mozzarella) grated
- 1 large egg beaten
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, combine flour with the yeast mixture and knead until a dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Roll the dough into a rough oval shape on a floured surface.
- Place the cheese blend onto the center of the dough, spreading it out evenly. Fold the edges of the dough over to create a boat shape.
- Bake the khachapuri in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, make a small well in the center of the cheese, and crack an egg into it.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the egg is cooked to your liking.
- Serve the khachapuri hot, breaking the egg yolk and mixing it with the cheese before eating.
