KHACHAPURI recipe (Georgian Bread With Cheese)

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.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl to check for shells.

Add 300 grams of kefir and mix.

Add 40 grams of sunflower oil, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, then mix.

Add 10 grams of fast working yeast and mix until the sugar dissolves.

Let the mixture sit for about 15-30 minutes until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is active.

Add 600 grams of all-purpose flour and mix for about 10 minutes until the dough is stretchy.

Cover the dough with foil or a towel and let it rise for 20-40 minutes until doubled in size.

Prepare the stuffing by mixing 200 grams of suluguni cheese with 1 egg and 2-3 cloves of minced garlic.

Divide the dough into two pieces and shape each into a boat.

Fill each boat with half of the cheese mixture and let it rise a bit more.

Preheat the oven to 200°C and let the dough rise while the oven heats.

Bake the khachapuri until golden brown, turning it if necessary for even cooking.

Make a small hole in the cheese and crack an egg into it, then return to the oven for 2-3 minutes.

Add butter on top before serving.
