Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Divide the risen dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Roll out each ball into an oval shape on a floured surface.

Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Mix cheese and butter in a bowl and spoon the mixture onto the center of each dough oval.

Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese mixture, leaving the center exposed.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

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

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

Serve hot, garnished with additional butter if desired.
