Khachapuri Recipe (Georgian Cheese Bread)
Description
This Khachapuri recipe uses a yeast-leavened dough combining lukewarm milk, water, flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and oil to create a supple base that rises to a tender, elastic texture. The filling blends farmers cheese, feta, and mozzarella to provide a creamy, tangy, and melty cheese center which is placed into the dough shaped like a boat.
The bread bakes at a high temperature until the crust is lightly golden while the cheese melts thoroughly within the open center. The exposed filling allows it to remain moist and rich while maintaining a soft-crusted exterior. This shape and method highlight the cheese centerpiece while providing a satisfying bread-to-filling ratio.
Khachapuri is best served warm so the cheese stay creamy. It can be enjoyed on its own as a snack or with a light salad or soup. The rich cheese filling pairs well with simple accompaniments to balance its richness.
