Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients according to the list for making Adjarian khachapuri at home.
- For the sponge, the water should be warm. Add sugar and yeast to the water. Stir. Leave for about ten minutes to activate the yeast.
- After ten minutes, the sponge has a good foam, which indicates that the yeast is quality and can be worked with further.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, add salt and mix the dry ingredients well. Add the sponge and knead the dough. First with a spatula.
- Then knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on the working surface.
- Then add vegetable oil to the dough in two stages.
- The dough is soft and elastic. Roll it into a ball.
- Grease the bowl in the middle with vegetable oil, cover the dough with oil as well, and transfer the dough to a bowl for rising. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. And send it to a warm place to rise. For such cases, I use the oven as a warm cupboard without drafts. Leave the dough for one hour.
- Separate the white from the yolk. We will add the white to the filling and brush the khachapuri with the yolk before placing it in the oven to bake.
- Prepare the ingredients for the filling: suluguni cheese, the white of one egg, flour, milk.
- Grate the suluguni cheese on a coarse grater.
- Add the other ingredients to it: the white, flour, and milk. Mix the mass well until homogeneous. If necessary, you can add salt to taste in the filling. Divide the cheese filling into two equal parts.
- An hour has passed, and our dough has risen perfectly.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts as well.
- Without a rolling pin, simply use your hands to shape round blanks. Lay cheese around the edge and fold the cheese borders. Secure the 'ears' well, forming a 'boat'.
- Fill the blanks with cheese filling. Brush the dough with the yolk using a silicone brush.
- While forming the khachapuri, the oven is already preheating to the maximum temperature, which is t-250°C for us. Transfer the khachapuri to a preheated baking sheet in the oven. Send it to the oven and bake until golden, it took us 20 minutes to do this.
- After twenty minutes, we take out the golden khachapuri, make an indentation in the filling, and pour in one yolk at a time.
- Place the khachapuri in the oven for a maximum of one minute.
- The ready Adjarian khachapuri according to the classic recipe is garnished with pieces of butter.
Adjarian khachapuri at home is ready, serve it hot for breakfast or lunch. We meet dear guests with khachapuri. Bon appetite.
