Whole wheat adds fiber and nutrients.

Prepare bread dough by mixing flour, yeast, sugar, and water until smooth.

Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Divide the risen dough into equal portions and shape each into a boat-like form.

Fill the center of each dough boat with a generous amount of cheese.

Bake the khachapuri in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and create a small well in the center of the cheese.

Crack an egg into the well and return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the egg is set.

Remove from the oven and add a pat of butter on top of the egg.

Serve immediately, allowing diners to mix the egg and cheese together.
