Decadent Khachapuri Recipe
This Decadent Khachapuri Recipe is rich, cheesy, warm and incredibly comforting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese optional for extra creaminess
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley optional garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Add flour, yeast, sugar, and salt to a bowl. Mix well. Pour warm milk and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the Dough
- Place dough on a floured surface. Knead for about eight minutes. The dough should become smooth, soft and slightly elastic.
Let the Dough Rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel. Let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Cheese Filling
- In a bowl, mix mozzarella, feta and cream cheese. Stir well until evenly combined and creamy.
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Divide the Dough
- Punch down the risen dough. Divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval shape.
Shape the Boat
- Fold the long edges inward. Twist the ends to create a boat shape. Leave space in the center for cheese.
Add the Cheese Filling
- Fill the center of each dough boat with the cheese mixture. Spread evenly but leave a small space.
Bake the Khachapuri
- Place the tray in the oven. Bake for about 12 minutes until the bread becomes golden.
Add the Egg
- Remove the tray briefly. Crack one egg into the center of each Khachapuri. Return to oven for 3–4 minutes.
Finish with Butter
- Remove from oven. Place a small piece of butter on the hot cheese and egg center.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and stretchy.
Notes
- Use mozzarella and feta together for the best balance of creamy and salty flavor.
- Let the dough rest properly for a softer bread texture.
- Do not overcook the egg. A slightly runny yolk tastes best.
- Add garlic butter on the crust for extra flavor.
- Try adding spinach or herbs to the cheese mixture.
- Use whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
- Add shredded cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
- Serve with chili flakes for a spicy kick.
