Georgian Khachapuri 
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Filling:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
For the Topping:
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
For the Dough:
1. Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy.
2. Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
For the Filling:
1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine mozzarella, feta, and ricotta cheeses.
To Assemble and Bake:
1. Shape the Khachapuri:
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place a portion of the cheese mixture in the center of each oval. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching the ends to form a boat shape.
2. Bake:
- Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden.
3. Add the Eggs:
- Remove the khachapuri from the oven. Crack an egg into the center of each bread boat. Return to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
4. Finish and Serve:
- Top each khachapuri with a pat of butter. Serve warm.
