Directions

Adjarian Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish, a boat-shaped dish made of fluffy yeast dough filled with melted cheese (usually suluguni), topped with an egg and a piece of butter in the center. This is more than just a cheese pie—it’s a gastronomic symbol of Georgia, captivating the hearts of gourmets worldwide.

The cheese boat is served hot: before serving, a fresh egg yolk is cracked in the center, which is gently set by the warmth of the cheese and dough. The finished khachapuri is eaten by breaking off the edges of the boat and dipping them into the melted cheese, egg, and butter—a true feast for the senses!

prepare the dough

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast. Mix well, then add warm water and milk.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dough. Knead into a soft, non-stick dough. Add a little more flour if necessary. If the dough is too stiff, thin it with a little milk or water.

making khachapuri

1. After the dough has risen (it has doubled or tripled in size), knead it again.
2. Then divide the dough into balls equal to the number of khachapuri you'll be baking.
3. Take a ball of dough and roll it out thinly. Spread the prepared filling on the dough and spread it out carefully, leaving the edges free.
4. Form a "boat" shape, tucking the edges slightly toward the filling.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the khachapuri to the baking sheet and brush the edges with egg yolk.
6. Bake the khachapuri in the oven at 446°F (230°C) for 15-20 minutes using convection mode.

how to serve khachapuri to the table

1. Remove the cooked khachapuri and add 1 egg yolk and a small knob of butter to each "boat." Return to the oven for 1-2 minutes to warm the yolk and melt the butter. Remove immediately.
2. Before serving, stir the filling directly in the khachapuri "boat" to combine the filling with the egg and butter.

Enjoy your meal.
