One of my favorite cuisines is Georgian. I love her for her simple but delicious dishes. Adjarian khachapuri is one of my family’s favorite dishes and this is not surprising at all. After all, the combination of fluffy dough with a crispy crust and salty cheese with an egg is so delicious!
Ingredients (on 2 Adjarian khachapuri)
dough
- Wheat flour of the highest grade – 400 grams.
- Dry yeast – 1 tsp
- Water – 300 ml.
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Sugar – 1 tsp
stuffing
- Suluguni cheese – 400 grams.
- Feta cheese – 250 grams.
- Egg – 3 pieces
- Butter – 70 g.
1 First of all, prepare the dough.
Pour the flour, yeast, salt and sugar into the bowl. Pour warm water and knead the dough. The dough should turn out not too tight and a little stick to the hands. Form a bowl from the dough and put it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel. Leave it in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours.
2 Cooking the filling. Suluguni is rubbed on a coarse grater. Knead the feta with a fork.
3 Put the risen dough on a floured surface and knead it for a couple of minutes. It should become a smooth ball. We divide this ball into two equal parts (each is the basis of our khachapuri).
4 Roll out an oval flatbread 25-30 cm long.
Sprinkle all the flatbread with half of the grated suluguni. Now you can form a boat. To do this, roll the edges on both sides and pinch on the sides.
5 In the resulting boat lay out half of the feta cheese. We grease it with an egg. Now you can put khachapuri in the oven (preheated to 180 C degrees). Bake for 25 minutes.
6 After 25 minutes, take the khachapuri out of the oven. Make a hole in the center with a spoon and gently hammer into it an egg. After that, send khachapuri into the oven for another 3-5 minutes.
7 Take our khachapuri out of the oven. In the center put a piece of butter and immediately serve to the table.
Useful advice!
How to eat Adjarian khachapuri: stir the egg in the still hot cheese in freshly prepared khachapuri. Thus, the egg reaches the desired condition. Break off the edge of the khachapuri and dip it in cheese and egg. This is delicious!
