Khachapuri Recipe

Something delicious from Georgian cuisine,and one of my family’s favorites : Adjarian Khachapuri. As any Khachapuri recipe ,this one also requires ingredients to make the bread dough and cheese filling.
And it’s really easy and simple in making. I’m sure every house lady has her own khachapuri recipe and for sure all those different recipes make the same delicious dish .
This specific kind of khachapuri has a very unique shape , looks like a boat filled with gooey cheese filling ,baked then topped with butter and egg, at preference .
Enjoy the recipe and happy baking!

  1. Hello Heghineh, thx for the great recipes. Can I make this dough a night befor and put in in the fridge till morning to make it? Thank you

  2. Heghineh, thanks for the recipe. It looks delicious.In your recipe- In the list of ingredients for the dough- it lists 1 egg (right before the sour cream or yogurt) but your video did not show adding an egg to the dough. It only showed adding an egg after the bread and cheese had baked and then baking it again with the egg in it. Is there an egg in the dough as well?

  3. Heghineh, if I make these the night before, should I refrigerate or freeze, then how long should I put in the oven the following morning to reheat?

  4. should i put the dough in the oven for it to double in size? how many degrees farenheight should i put it in?

      • This recipe did not work! I put the dough in the oven to double in size and instead it became hard and rubbery? I left it in the oven in 350 degrees F for an hour.

        • if you put the dough in 350° oven it’ll cook and harden, just place it in another bowl filled with warm water
          Please see the recipe for detailed instructions

  5. Hello, I’ll try this today, the only thing I wonder is that from what I know the oven temperatures are wrong for 475F it should be 245C? I just wonder if it should be 200C or 245 now 🙂
