There is no answer to the question: how many types of khachapuri are there? Georgian chefs still manage to come up with new versions of popular baked goods. Its well-known species do not lose their relevance. If you decide to cook khachapuri at home, start with the simplest options for cheese cakes. This recipe describes the process of making Megrelian khachapuri. They are distinguished from the Imeretian ones by the presence of cheese not only in the filling, but also on top of the flatbread.
A detailed process for preparing dough for khachapuri can be found in this recipe.
For the filling, take suluguni. However, any other pickled cheese will do. Since suluguni contains a sufficient amount of salt, its additional use is not required.
Ingredients:
For the test:
Water - 150 ml.
Fast acting yeast - 7 grams
Milk - 100 ml.
Butter - 30 grams
Sugar - 1.5 tablespoons
Salt - 1 pinch
Egg - 1 pc.
Wheat flour - 500 grams
Vegetable oil - 0.5 tsp
For filling:
Suluguni - 600 grams
Egg yolk - 1 pc.
Course of action:
Prepare dough for khachapuri in advance.
For dough, I mix yeast, warm water and a pinch of sugar. Leave in a warm place until the yeast is activated. After 30 minutes, add the remaining ingredients to the dough and knead the dough.
Cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave it to rise for two hours. I knead the dough once after one hour.
For the filling, I rub brine cheese on a grater.
I divide the matched dough into three equal parts, weighing approximately 270 grams.
I roll each of them into a bun and cover with a kitchen towel so that they do not dry out. I roll the dough into a cake one by one.
I spread 150 grams of grated cheese in the center of the workpiece. I collect and fix the edges of the dough in the center in the form of a knot.
I turn the bundle with the filling "seam" down and again roll it into a flat cake. Its size is 20-21 cm in diameter.
In the center, I form a small hole for air and steam to escape. I grease the semi-finished product with egg yolk.
Sprinkle cheese on the cake (50 grams). I do the same with the remaining blanks.
I bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Khachapuri Megrelian is ready.
Wonderful pastries turned out, they are good in any form - you can serve hot or cold. The main thing is for a good mood, a company of good friends and a glass of Kindzmarauli.
