Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread) image

This Georgian national dish comes in many variants. This recipe normally is made with matsoni yogurt (Bulgarian or Turkish yogurt is ok) and sulguni cheese. Khachapuri can be found at numerous snack kiosks and from street traders at markets or subway stations. In times of crisis, it is also sold from a hand extended from the window of a ground-floor apartment. It should never be missing from the everyday table or the buffet table at parties.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups full fat yogurt
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
9 ounces buffalo mozzarella cheese
9 ounces cream cheese
1 egg
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
salt, to taste
butter, for frying

Steps:

  • Make a smooth dough out of the dough ingredients. Use as much flour as needed to keep dough light without it sticking to your hands.
  • Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling. Grate the mozzarella and then mix with the cream cheese. Add the egg and butter and process into a smooth, glutinous mixture using either a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.
  • Season with salt, if needed, and divide into 4 balls.
  • Shape the dough into 4 balls also and roll these out to form 8 inch circles.
  • Put the cheese filling balls into each dough circle and bring the edges of the dough circle up and over to seal. (Example.like an omelet or a calzone) Press firmly to seal.
  • Carefully press the dough flat into a circular shape until each will fill a large skillet.
  • Fry individually in hot butter, covered, before turning them and frying the other side, uncovered.
  • Cut each flat loaf into 4 portions and serve hot.

I'm allergic to cheese, so I made this khachapuri with vegan cheese. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my khachapuri didn't turn out very well. The bread was too dense and the cheese was too dry.

The khachapuri was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil to the dough next time.

This khachapuri was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.
