Happy weekend everyone! Today, I have made Kashapuri bread for the first time.
Khashapuri bread can be served with breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
The famous khachapuri is from Adjara, a region of Georgia on the Black Sea. It’s an open-faced, boat-shaped loaf that’s often served with an egg yolk and a slice of butter to stir in at the table.
Ingredients
For the Handmade Dough:
• 1 cup warm milk
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp yeast
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cups all-purpose or bread flour
• ¾ teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For those who don’t know how to bake bread:
12 ounces store-bought pizza dough.
For the filling:
•100 grams shredded whole milk, low-moisture mozzarella (not fresh mozzarella)
• 40 grams goat cheese, finely crumbled
• 40 grams crumbled feta (not low-fat or light)
• Butter for serving
• Egg yolk from 1 large egg
Here’s a video my son and I have made. By the way, you can find more recipes and some other stuff on my Instagram page @imaninusa
In a large bowl, with your hands or a wooden spoon, stir together flour, sugar, yeast, olive oil, and salt. Add warm water and milk. With hands, knead mixture into a smooth dough, about 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven.
Once the dough is rested and doubled in shape, roll each piece into an oval shape.
In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, goat cheese or Parmesan and feta. Stir with a fork until the mixture is thoroughly blended. Scrape the cheese mixture into the center of the dough boat, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake khachapuri until the crust begins to brown and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, leaving oven on.
Using a spoon, make a shallow, 2-inch-wide well in the center of the cheese. Add the egg yolk and return to the oven for 5 min only.
Remove from the oven and serve with butter.
Enjoy!
