How to Make Khachapuri! | Bake Along w/ Anna Olson

cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta

💰Cheaper: mozzarella

Ricotta offers a lighter option while mozzarella is more accessible.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats, while margarine can be a cost-effective alternative.

In a stand mixer, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.

Add instant dry yeast directly to the flour and stir.

Mix hot tap water and milk in a 2:1 ratio, ensuring it's just above body temperature.

Add the liquid mixture and neutral oil to the flour mixture and mix with a dough hook until elastic.

Let the dough rise in an ungreased bowl covered for about 1 hour at room temperature until doubled in size.

Prepare the garlic butter by melting diced butter and grating in garlic.

Combine grated pizza mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese in a bowl.

Prepare spinach by either using frozen (thawed) or fresh (blanched and squeezed) to yield 450 grams.

Mix the spinach with the cheese mixture using hands to break up clumps.

Divide the dough into six pieces and roll each into a boat shape.

Brush each shaped dough with garlic butter and fill with the cheese and spinach mixture.

Shape the dough by rolling the edges around the filling and pinching the ends to form a boat.

Let the shaped dough rise for another 30 minutes covered with a tea towel.

Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 20-30 minutes, optionally adding an egg on top and baking for an additional 15 minutes.
