Khachapuri is a traditional dish of Georgian cuisine, which is a flatbread with cheese. It has many varieties and is prepared in different ways in different regions of Georgia.
Khachapuri can be both an everyday dish and a festive treat. It is served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. In some regions khachapuri is prepared for special occasions such as weddings or religious holidays.
Khachapuri can be prepared at home. Of course, the flatbread will not be the same as it is prepared in Georgian families. The fact is that each family has its own special recipe for khachapuri.
But, it is still worth trying to bake khachapuri yourself.
Ingredients for the dough:
- Kefir – 300 ml;
- Salt – 1 tsp;
- Sugar – 1 tsp;
- Egg – 1 pc;
- Vegetable oil – 3 tbsp;
- Flour – 450 g;
- Leavening agent – 10 g.
Ingredients for the filling:
- Mozzarella cheese or suluguni – 300 g;
- Egg – 1 pc.
Preparation of khachapuri:
Pour salt and sugar into kefir, break an egg, pour in vegetable oil. Pour the leavening agent into the mixture and mix everything thoroughly.
Pour the flour into the kefir, knead a soft and elastic dough. Leave the dough under cellophane for 10 minutes. At this time grate mozzarella or suluguni cheese,
combine cheese and egg, salt and mix. Divide the filling into 4 equal parts.
Divide the dough similarly to the filling and form rolls. Roll out the rolls into small flat cakes with a diameter of 13-15 cm, where we put the cheese.
Seal the cheese inside the tortillas as if in sacks, roll into thinner tortillas with the filling. Fry the khachapuri on a dry frying pan on both sides until browned.
After cooking each flatbread should be greased with butter. You will get flavorful homemade khachapuri.
