Khachapuri Recipe

Khachapuri Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   While the dough rises, heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the cremini mushrooms until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool.

4. 4

   Shape the Khachapuri

   Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape on a floured surface. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Add the Filling

   Spread half of the sautéed mushrooms and half of the graviera cheese onto each dough oval, leaving a border. Create a shallow well in the center of the cheese and crack an egg into each well.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the egg is cooked to your liking.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

   Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve hot, allowing diners to mix the egg and cheese together before enjoying.
