A step-by-step recipe for Adjarian khachapuri

I tried this pastry for the first time 15 years ago. Earlier, I was already familiar with the taste of other types of khachapuri and I really liked all of them, but boats with cheese according to the recipe of Ajarian chefs amazed me on the spot. I found the recipe I needed and since then I often prepare the treat myself.

Ingredients:

• 125 ml of milk;
• 125 ml of water;
• 7 g dry yeast;
• 2 tsp granulated sugar;
• 1 tsp salt;
• 5-6 eggs;
• 1-2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil;
• flour - 400 g;
• 250 g suluguni;
• 250 g of Adyghe cheese;
• 100 g butter.

Preparation:

1. Heat milk with water until warm. Add yeast and sugar, stir, leave for 10 minutes.

   

   Milk with water for dough should be warm, but not hot

2. Pour vegetable oil into the dough, add salt and 1 egg, mix everything with a whisk.

   

   It is best to use a whisk to thoroughly mix all the ingredients.

3. Gradually pouring the sifted flour into the bowl with the mixture, knead the elastic dough. Once the dough stops sticking to your hands, you no longer need flour.

   

   The amount of flour is adjusted during the kneading process

4. Transfer the dough to a large container, cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour.

   

   For the dough to rise well, it must be left in a warm place.

5. After an hour, knead the dough, cover, leave for another half hour.

6. Grind both types of cheese on a grater with large holes.

   

   The cheese for the filling is grated on a grater with large holes or crumbled by hand

7. Combine cheese with melted butter, add salt if desired. Stir the filling.

   

   Salt is added to the filling as desired

8. Divide the dough into 4-5 equal parts, each of which roll out into a large oval.

   

   Khachapuri dough pieces should be oval

9. Spread some of the filling in strips on the wide sides of the blanks.

   

   A small amount of cheese filling must be laid out on the edges of the khachapuri blanks

10. Fold the edges of the dough so that the filling is inside the rollers.

    

    the dough with the filling must be rolled up so that the filling is completely hidden

11. Fold the edges of the dough together, then open the rollers and fill the dough pieces with the filling.

    

    After the edges of the dough boats are carefully fastened, you can put all the remaining filling into the blanks.

12. Transfer the pieces to a lined baking sheet.

    

    To prevent the khachapuri from burning, the baking sheet is covered with a sheet of baking paper.

13. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees.

14. Remove the khachapuri from the oven, slightly loosen the filling and beat the egg into it.

    

    Raw eggs are added to the hot filling of almost finished khachapuri, which will remain baked in the oven for a few more minutes

15. Bake the boats for another 2-4 minutes, so that the protein grabs and the yolk remains runny.
16. Grease the edges of the boats with butter and place one piece on top of the hot filling.

17. Serve hot or warm khachapuri.

    

    Adjarian-style khachapuri is recommended to be served immediately after cooking
