Adjarian Khachapuri Recipe | Acharuli Khachapuri

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Ricotta offers a lighter option while maintaining creaminess.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat content without sacrificing texture.

In a mixing bowl combine flour, yeast and sugar.

Add water, milk and melted butter and start kneading the dough.

When dough is formed add salt and knead for 6-8 minutes.

Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Make the cheese mixture: in a medium bowl put mozzarella, feta cheese and 2 eggs. Mix well.

Remove the dough from the bowl and place it onto a floured surface.

Cut the dough into 4-6 equal pieces (depends on the size you want).

Shape into balls and cover for 20-30 minutes more.

Preheat oven to 430F (220C).

Roll each dough into 1/8-inch (1/3cm) thick.

Shape a boat from the dough and transfer to a parchment paper.

Spread equal portions of cheese mixture.

Bake for 10 minutes, after 10 minutes put an egg yolk with a little of egg white in the middle, brush the crust with melted butter and bake 2-3 minutes more.

When the khachapuri is ready you can add 1 cube of butter to the middle, mix it with piece of crust and eat it this way.
