Adjarian Khachapuri

In 2019, Khachapuri was granted the status of an intangible monument of Georgia’s cultural heritage. There is no single recipe for khachapuri – each region cooks the dish in its own way. Adjarian khachapuri – shaped like a boat with cheese, butter and egg yolk in the middle, is one of the most popular among Georgians and tourists alike.

Ingredients
  • Wheat flour: 183 g
  • 3.2% milk: 140 ml
  • Butter: 15 g
  • Dry yeast: 2 g
  • Sugar: 3 g
  • Vegetable oil: 2 ml
  • Coarse salt: 4 g
  • Suluguni cheese: 170 g Georgian Suluguni cheese is similar to a slightly dry Mozzarella cheese
  • Imereti cheese: 60 g Imereti cheese can be replaced with Feta cheese
  • Chicken egg: 3
  • Salt: to taste
Instructions
1 Sift the flour into a deep bowl, add the yeast, salt, sugar, room temperature milk, vegetable oil and 10 grams of softened butter. Mix everything thoroughly until homogeneous, if necessary, add a little water (about 50 ml).
2 Cover the bowl with the dough and leave for thirty to forty minutes. Divide the dough into two portions – you can use them immediately or send them to the fridge.
3 To make the filling, you need to coarsely grate all the cheese.
4 Mix the grated cheese with the egg and add a little butter – if the cheese is fatty, you can do without butter: the filling should be quite loose.
5 Roll out the portions of dough with a rolling pin so that they form fairly large ovals 5 mm thick. Puncture the perimeter with a toothpick or wooden skewer to let the air out.
6 Place equally divided cheese filling (a mixture of Imereti cheese, suluguni and one egg) on portions of the rolled out dough, join the edges of the dough and pinch – the shape of khachapuri should resemble boats.
7 In the middle of each pie, gently stretch the dough with your hands, make a 4 cm cut and fold the edges of the dough inside the khachapuri so that the filling is visible.

8 Once again prick the pies around the perimeter, place them in baking trays and put them in a preheated oven for fifteen minutes.
9 4-5 minutes before it is ready, take the dish out of the oven, break the egg so that it is in the centre and send it to ‘finish’ again.
