Recipe

  1. This recipe is incredibly easy to make. It is enough to take a metal bowl into which you need to sift the entire available amount of flour.
  2. Then you need to mix the flour with yeast, salt and sugar. As soon as we have a homogeneous dry mixture, add oil.
  3. Now heat the milk (it should be warm enough) and pour it into the bowl with flour.
  4. With gentle movements we begin to knead the resulting dough. First we do this in a bowl, but as soon as the dough becomes elastic, you need to knead it on the table. The whole process will take from 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. Now take the dough, cover it with cling film and do not touch it for half an hour. It should rest, but for now you can start filling.
  6. Take suluguni cheese (can be replaced with other cheese), grate it on a coarse grater. We are preparing so that the cheese can be placed on our delicious khachapuri.
  7. Now we start the dough again, it has already rested enough, so it can be used. We cut the entire piece into 4 parts, each of which will have to be rolled out into a circle or oval with a silicone rolling pin.
  8. Now we make a boat from each oval. To do this, we twist the sides and secure their ends. You should end up with a neat boat, ready for sailing.
  9. Now we load each boat with cheese filling. There is no need to save, we don’t skimp on the cheese, there should be plenty of filling.
  10. Now we warm up the baking tray a little in the oven, then cover it with baking paper and place our boats on it. Or we cook in a slow cooker and put the boats in it.
  11. We also bake for no more than 10 minutes at a temperature of 250–280 degrees. When the boat becomes golden brown, you need to remove it from the oven so that the filling (cheese) does not burn.
  12. Now pour the chicken egg over each of our boats, and then put the khachapuri in the oven for another 3 minutes so that the egg can bake. You can also cook in a slow cooker, the process will be even faster.

We serve such khachapuri to the table immediately after removing it from the sheet, since they must be eaten hot.

Enjoy your meal!

Khachapuri is a national Georgian dish, which is a flatbread with a delicious filling of young cheese. Russians sometimes associate the word khachapuri with a flatbread stuffed with potatoes and meat. Georgians do not consider this understanding of the dish correct. In all of Georgia, you cannot find two such places where cheese cakes are prepared in the same way; each chef has his own twist. Adjarian-style khachapuri is of particular interest.

A little history

What does the literal meaning of the word “khachapuri” mean? “Khacho” and “puri” are cottage cheese and bread, respectively. This dish is filled exclusively with cheeses. Historically, the first flatbreads began to be baked back in the Middle Ages in mountainous Georgian villages. There is no single recipe for the dish; in different parts of sunny Georgia the appetizer will be prepared differently - you can see round, square and triangular shapes. Standing apart is a boat filled with young cheese. It is topped with an egg and topped with a piece of unsalted butter. An example of a dish is shown in the photo.

Adjarian-style khachapuri is particularly light; it seems airy and so tasty that you want to eat it right away. But tradition does not tell you to rush; you should eat the Adjarian snack slowly, in a special sequence.

Dough making traditions

The traditional version of the dough is prepared from:

  • flour;
  • matsoni;
  • vegetable oil;
  • Sahara;
  • salt;
  • soda

Matsoni is a Caucasian drink prepared by fermenting boiled and slightly cooled milk from domestic animals. The word “matsoni” itself is of Armenian origin.

You don’t need to add a lot of flour to the dough; the mass should remain soft and slightly stick to your hands. You don’t start making khachapuri right away; you need to let the dough sit for a while.

Initially, the dough for Adjarian khachapuri was unleavened; the base was a mixture of water and flour. But chefs have their own secrets and can choose yeast or even puff pastry. The classic option is still the one using matsoni. The drink itself is a good alternative to yeast, but in our country it is found almost nowhere. Therefore, as an alternative, cooks are using other fermented milk products.

Advice! “Khachapuri cooked with yeast will be soft and fluffy, so you can eat it already cooled. Dough mixed with matsoni is good only in hot khachapuri, then it loses its excellent taste.”

What kind of cheese should I get?

There is an opinion among experienced chefs that the most delicious will be Adjarian-style khachapuri, in which there will be a little more filling than dough. Caucasian traditions dictate some rules for choosing cheese. You should not take a mature product, because it stretches and when the khachapuri cools down, the consistency of the filler will not be the best.

The appetizer is prepared only from young varieties, which include:

  • Imeretian;
  • Mozzarella;
  • Suluguni;
  • Adyghe cheese;
  • feta cheese.

The salty product should be placed in water for several hours and soaked, then adding cottage cheese. Thanks to cottage cheese, the degree of saltiness of khachapuri is significantly reduced, and the filling becomes softer. This fact is especially important if for some reason hard cheese is used.

The filling of traditional Adjarian khachapuri contains an egg. Thanks to this product, it will resemble a paste and will have a very delicate taste. The addition of herbs and garlic is rather an innovation; the traditional version of the dish did without such ingredients.

Advice! “Another secret of a delicious dish is a special way of preparing cheese. You need to break it with your hands or use a tablespoon for these purposes, but do not resort to a grater.”

How to sculpt and fill boats correctly?

The finished dough is divided into parts from which balls are rolled. Their size should be no larger than a fist. The dough is rolled out with a rolling pin into an oval shape. Some cooks do this by hand or take the path of least resistance and just make a big pie. The finished dish is only divided into parts before serving. Everyone decides for themselves what type of dish to give preference to.

To achieve a crispy crust, you need to roll out the cake as thin as possible. If you like a soft snack, the thickness of the dough is made at least a centimeter. After the cake is ready, the edges are pinched and a boat is formed. The filling is placed inside and the oven is turned on. The temperature inside it is brought to 200 °C, after which the half-finished khachapuri is sent to bake. In addition to baked khachapuri, there are also ones cooked in a frying pan.


The sides of the khachapuri are brushed with yolk to obtain a golden blush. Cooking time is about 20 minutes, much depends on the type of oven. As soon as the boats are baked, they are taken out and poured over the eggs. It is necessary to try, and for aesthetic reasons, to prevent the yolk from breaking. Then the appetizer is returned to the oven for just a couple of minutes. The final touch is to place a piece of butter on top of the khachapuri (as in the image).

Having brought together many years of experience in preparing Adjarian-style khachapuri, we can highlight several general tips:

  • It is better to cut large pieces of cheese so that excess salt can escape freely.
  • If you want to create a truly Georgian dish, you don’t have to look for matsoni on sale, but make it at home. To do this, you will need one and a half liters of milk and a tablespoon of kefir for the starter. After mixing the products in a container, you need to wrap it in something warm and let the mixture stand for 5 hours. Lactic acid bacteria will begin to multiply in milk. Then the mass is transferred to the refrigerator to thicken.
  • Culinary experts believe that the ratio of water and flour in an ideal dough should be 1 to 3. But each cook has his own recipe and his own proportions, so finding the best option can only be done experimentally.
  • To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands while making boats, you need to let it sit after kneading. The gluten will swell and the mass will become more pliable and elastic, which will simplify the work. Ready khachapuri will melt in your mouth.

Khachapuri from Tinatin Mzhavanadze

The popular blogger and best-selling culinary author offers his readers a step-by-step recipe for the perfect Adjarian khachapuri. The appetizer will be very tasty if the dough is soft, the crust is crispy, the cheese and egg filling is tender, the bottom is dry, and the sides are golden brown. It is not difficult to prepare such a dish, you just need to follow the recipe.

First, milk is mixed with water in a separate container. Sugar, salt and packaged yeast are poured in there one by one, sunflower oil is poured in, then everything is thoroughly mixed. The soft dough is kneaded exclusively with sifted flour, and it should rise in a warm place for about an hour and a half. The risen dough is lowered and allowed to stand a little longer.

While the khachapuri base is being perfected, it’s time for the filling. Cheese, according to tradition, is broken by hand. You can use a coarse grater, in this matter everything is individual. At the end, drinking water is poured in to achieve a more delicate consistency. If desired, you can add a little garlic.


Divide the dough into small balls and roll out oval cakes. At first it is difficult to achieve the desired shape, but a couple of molded khachapuri will already allow you to fill your hand. The finished forms are laid out on a greased sheet. The filling is placed in the middle of each boat, and the sheet is sent into a hot oven. The temperature should be high – 250 °C. After 15 minutes, the sheet is taken out, an egg is poured into the center of the baking, everything goes into the oven to finish.

Hot khachapuri is placed on a large plate, a little butter on top of each boat completes the picture. The dish is ready, you can start tasting!

To prepare the dough you will need:

  • flour – 1 kg;
  • milk – 1 glass;
  • water – 0.5 liters;
  • dry yeast – 1 tbsp;
  • sugar and salt - 1 tsp each;
  • refined vegetable oil – 2 tbsp.

The filling is made from Imeretian cheese (1 kg) or a mixture of several varieties (250 g of each type), water (half a glass) and garlic (1 clove). An egg for decoration is taken depending on the number of baked khachapuri. It will be interesting to place the filling in layers, especially if you use 3-4 different varieties.

Khachapuri in a hurry: a quick recipe

If guests are on the doorstep and you want to treat them with something, you can resort to this recipe (subject to the availability of the necessary products). A simple and quick cooking option worth considering step by step. Squares are rolled out from the finished puff pastry and boats are molded. The latter are baked on a greased sheet in the oven. The baked pieces are taken out and filled with filling - grated cheese and egg. The sheet goes back into the oven for just a couple of minutes. If the yolk is a little damp, that’s even better; pieces of dough are dipped into it to make it tastier.

Boats on yogurt

Many Georgian housewives knead the dough using yogurt. Khachapuri turns out fresh and not as fluffy as with yeast, but no less tasty. This recipe is worth considering step by step.


First, the butter is melted in a water bath and mixed with yogurt. A pinch of salt is added to the resulting mixture, after which it is thoroughly beaten with a mixer. The sifted flour is mixed with soda and gradually added to the mixer bowl. As the dough becomes thicker, you need to increase the mixer speed. The result should be a fairly elastic mass, so it is better to mix it on the table rather than in a mixer.

The dough is divided into 4 parts, and a flat cake is made from each using a rolling pin. The filling is placed into the formed boats, the khachapuri is placed in the oven for 15-20 minutes. After removing the baked goods, break an egg into each core and place everything back in the oven.

You will need the following ingredients:

  • butter – 200g;
  • flour – 300 g;
  • curdled milk – 1 cup;
  • soda - half a tsp;
  • cheese – 600 g;
  • eggs - 5 pcs., one for greasing, the rest for decoration.

How do you eat khachapuri in Adjarian style?

In order to prevent the reader from choking on saliva, it is better to avoid a detailed description of the feast with khachapuri. In short, you can eat the finished dish as you please. But true gourmets prefer to stir the egg filling, take a piece of baked dough and dip it into the delicious center. When the sides are finished, the remaining part of the khachapuri is eaten like a pie.

Every cuisine in the world has great baking recipes, and Georgian is no exception. Adjarian khachapuri is rightfully considered one of the most striking and memorable dishes there. There are different recipes for their preparation and a lot of secrets, knowing which you can make this delicacy perfect.

How to cook khachapuri at home

The process consists of several stages and only by completing each of them correctly will you get good baked goods. Before baking khachapuri, you need to take care of the selection of products, they all must be of high quality and fresh. Next, the dough is kneaded, then it is given a special boat shape, the filling is laid out, and the dish is baked in the oven.

Dough

There is no single recipe for cooking. Ideally, the khachapuri dough should be kneaded without yeast using matsoni, a Georgian fermented milk product that is responsible for the fermentation function. Some people make baked goods from yeast dough or even ready-made puff pastry, but it’s best to knead it yourself. The consistency should be such that it is elastic and elastic, slightly sticks to your hands, but can be separated from the walls of the dish without any extra effort. It must be left for at least an hour. There are a few more recommendations:

  1. You can’t buy matsoni everywhere, but there is a way to prepare it yourself. You need to heat three liters of milk, mix with two tablespoons of sour cream or kefir. The container with the workpiece is closed tightly, wrapped in a blanket and kept for 5 hours. Then move it to the refrigerator and leave it there until it thickens completely.
  2. If you are cooking with yeast, dissolve it with warm milk and sugar and leave for a few minutes. They should foam up. If this does not happen, it means they are of poor quality and are not suitable for baking.

Filling

It is traditional to use young Imeretian cheese. It is soft and moderately salty. Unfortunately, finding one for sale is very problematic. For this reason, the filling for Adjarian khachapuri is often made from grated Adyghe cheese and suluguni mixed in equal quantities. Tips for preparing the filling:

  1. To bind, mix the cheeses with the egg before baking. You can add a little flour.
  2. If you find overly salted cheese, soak it in water for several hours.
  3. You can add meat products to the filling.

Be sure to take the boats out of the oven a few minutes before turning off, make a hole in the middle and carefully break a raw egg into it without damaging the yolk. This is what distinguishes Adjarian khachapuri from other types of similar baked goods. The yolk is left liquid and mixed with soft melted cheeses. The edges of the boat are torn off, dipped into the hot filling and put into the mouth.

Prepare the ingredients.

Examination yeast quality.
Pour 50 ml of warm milk (35-37°C) into a small deep bowl, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and stir.
Crumble the yeast into the milk and stir until the yeast dissolves (it’s convenient to stir with your fingers or a wooden spoon).

Place the yeast mixture in a warm place for 15-20 minutes. The yeast should foam and rise like a cap.

Advice. If the yeast foams very weakly or does not foam at all while in a warm place, this yeast is of poor quality and it is better not to cook with it.

Preparation of yeast dough.
Sift flour (450 g) along with salt (1/2 tsp) into a large bowl.
Make a depression in the center of the flour slide and pour 300 ml of water, 50 ml of milk, foamed yeast and an egg into it.
Mix the flour with the liquid ingredients with your hands and knead a not very stiff dough (do not try too hard to knead yet - the dough may still be quite viscous).
Dust the table well with flour and turn the dough onto the flour.
Sprinkle the dough generously with flour on top and begin kneading the dough on the table.
As you knead, gradually dust the table with flour (literally, so that the dough does not stick to the table).
Also, during the kneading process, lubricate your hands and table with vegetable oil - this makes kneading the dough easier and improves its taste.
In total, kneading the dough takes about 15-20 minutes (less is possible, but the longer you knead the dough, the tastier the finished products will be).
When the dough stops sticking to your hands and becomes pleasant to the touch, silky and elastic, you can stop kneading.
Form the dough into a ball and place in a large clean bowl.
Grease the dough with a thin layer of vegetable oil, cover with a clean linen napkin and place in a warm place to proof for 1.5-2 hours.
The dough should increase in volume by about 3 times.
Knead the risen dough with your hands and return it to the bowl under the napkin.
Place the dough back in a warm place for about 1.5 hours until it increases in volume.
Knead the risen dough and divide into 5-6 equal parts (each part weighs about 200 g).
Roll each piece of dough into a ball, place it on a flour-dusted table, cover with a clean napkin and let rise a little.

Prepare filling.
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater (Imereti, Adyghe cheese or feta cheese can be mashed with your hands).

Gradually add boiled water at room temperature to the cheese mass, stirring constantly until the mass acquires the consistency of thick sour cream or porridge.

Advice. For real Adjarian khachapuri, take young soft lightly salted Imeretian cheese - “chkinti-kveli”. If you are trying to prepare khachapuri outside of Georgia, it is unlikely that you will be able to find the aforementioned cheese of decent quality so easily. It will be easier to find a worthy replacement for him. So, below are several options for replacing Imeretian cheese:

1. Adyghe cheese (350 g) + suluguni or mozzarella (150 g).

Adyghe cheese is most similar to Imeretian young cheese, but is not salty enough. You can add some suluguni or mozzarella to the Adyghe cheese, add a little salt to the filling and get a version more or less close to the original.

2. Feta or cheese (soaked, unsalted) (350 g) + suluguni or mozzarella (150 g).

Feta or feta cheese are too salty to taste, although their taste and consistency have something in common with Imeretian cheese. Feta or feta cheese must be thoroughly soaked in cold, clean water, changing the water frequently - the cheese should become almost fresh, with a barely perceptible saltiness. We also add some suluguni or mozzarella to the soaked cheese.

Note. It is not worth replacing Imeretian cheese only with Suluguni cheese. Suluguni is too fatty and stretchy when hot, and when it cools down, it loses its attractive properties both in taste and consistency. Therefore, it is better to add it in small quantities to Imeretian, Adyghe cheese or feta cheese.

Formation khachapuri.
Flatten the dough ball with your hands into a flat cake, about 30-35 cm in diameter, trying to keep the bottom as thin as possible in the middle of the cake.

Advice. The size of the “boats” depends on your preferences: if you like more crispy dough, roll it thin and the boat will turn out wide; if you like something soft, build a more compact structure.


Roll the edges of the cake with a roller from both sides to the center.

Pinch the ends well.

Carefully transfer the “boat” to a baking sheet dusted with flour.
Push the folded edges apart to make room for the filling.

Place the cheese filling into the resulting “boat”.

Thus, prepare khachapuri from the remaining dough.
Bake the khachapuri in an oven preheated to 230-260°C for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and remove part of the cheese filling from the khachapuri.
