How to make Khachapuri
- In a bowl, add the sugar, lukewarm milk, and yeast, and mix.
- Gradually add the flour while stirring. Once you achieve a batter-like consistency, add the egg, salt, and mix again.
- Add the remaining flour and olive oil, and knead until you have a dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
- Next, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead briefly to release the air.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- Roll out each dough piece into a sheet about 1 cm thick.
- Place half of the grated cheese in the center of the dough sheet. Fold the dough around the cheese to form a pouch, and seal it well.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a circle approximately 30 cm in diameter.
- Place the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough.
- Let the breads rest for 20 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix one egg with a shot of water, and brush this mixture over the breads.
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika and grated cheese.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and bake for 25 minutes using top and bottom heat.
