Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 250 ml Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Feta cheese
• 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 4 units Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 240°C (465°F).

Step 6

In a separate bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the shredded mozzarella.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal pieces.

Step 8

Roll each piece of dough into a rough oval shape, approximately 10 inches long.

Step 9

Fold the edges of each oval to form rims, pinching the ends to create a boat shape.

Step 10

Distribute the cheese mixture evenly among the dough boats, leaving a small space in the center.

Step 11

Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 10 minutes.

Step 12

Remove from oven and make a small indentation in the center of each khachapuri. Crack an egg into each indentation, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and add a tablespoon of butter to each khachapuri before serving.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, cheesy flavor of the Adjarian Khachapuri.
