The first mention of khachapuri dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, khachapuri was prepared in mountain villages using the simplest ingredients: flour, water, salt and, of course, cheese.
Khachapuri quickly became a popular dish served for breakfast, lunch and dinner
.
They were hearty and tasty, as well as easy to transport. This made them an ideal choice for shepherds and travelers.
Over time, the khachapuri recipe changed and improved. Different regions of Georgia have developed their own unique types of khachapuri.
