This khachapuri recipe is SO GOOD! The dough would even be delicious as a pizza crust.
Watch me make it here!
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients | Instructions |
|---|---|
For the dough: | Step 1 In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the salt, yeast, sugar, and flour. |
| Step 2 Heat water and milk to about 115 degrees Fahrenheit. I used a digital thermometer to measure the temperature. Then pour it into the bowl of dry ingredients. |
| Step 3 Begin kneading the dough with the hook attachment on the stand mixer until it's close to being smooth and elastic. |
| Step 4 Add the oil into the dough mixture and knead in the stand mixer for another minute. |
| Step 5 Drizzle a little olive oil onto the bottom and sides of a deep bowl. Place the dough inside the bowl and cover with cling wrap. Set the bowl in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size. |
| Step 6 Remove the plastic wrap and press into the dough a few times with a closed fist (this minimizes the dough sticking to you). Cover with plastic wrap once more and let it sit in a warm place for another 30 minutes. |
| Step 7 Meanwhile, combine the farmers cheese, feta, and mozzarella in a bowl. If using slices of cheese, split them into small pieces. |
| Step 8 Remove the dough from the bowl and place it onto a floured surface. Then cut it into four equal pieces. I use a dough cutter for this and it makes it so easy. |
Step 9 Spread each piece of the dough into a circle. You'll want the dough to be fairly thin but not have holes in it. Then roll two opposite sides of the circle towards the center so it ends up have a boat-like shape. Pinch the ends together. | |
For the filling: | Step 10 Transfer the khachapuri onto a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper. |
| Step 11 Fill each khachapuri with the cheese mixture. Beat one egg with a teaspoon of water to create an egg wash (I use this small whisk), then brush the dough with egg wash (I use this pastry brush). |
| Step 12 Bake in a preheated 450 degrees oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust becomes golden brown. |
| Step 13 Make a well in the center of each khachapuri with the back of a spoon (make it bigger than you think it needs to be) and drop one cracked egg into each well. Then stick a few small pieces of butter into the cheese. |
| Step 14 Return the khachapuri back into the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven. The egg white should be white but still pretty runny. It may be difficult to cut, so I would recommend using a pizza cutter. Enjoy! |
