Khachapuri ....traditional Georgian Bread

We found in youtube this wonderful traditional Georgian bread. Since it has a lot of cheese, it was perfect for us!

This bread has its origins in sailors; thus, the shape it is of a boat, the cheese is the sea, and the egg yolk is the sun.

In my opinion, it is to heavy for 1 person. My recommendation is dividing each bread for 2 persons.

For 2 boats

Khachapuri

250g  white bread flour

160g water room temperature

5g  salt

5g sugar

3g  dry yeast 

10g olive oil

 

Filling

100g crumbled feta cheese

100g  grated mozzarella

100g grated gouda

1 egg

For the toppings 

2 eggs

Mix water, sugar and yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes or until foamy. Add the olive oil.

Mix flour and salt. Add the liquids, and kneed it for 10 minutes. Let it rise for 1 hour, punch the dough. Let it rise for 2 hours. Place it in the fridge overnight.

Mix all the cheeses with the egg. Set aside

Divide the dough in two, and flatten it making a boat shape. Fill each boat with half of the cheese mixture. Bake it in a preheated oven at 210 C for 14 minutes. Take it out of the oven, make a hole and place an egg.  Bake it in a preheated oven at 210 C for 4 minutes or until the egg is done. ENJOY!!
