Georgian khachapuri began to bake in the Middle Ages. The recipe was passed from village to village, in each region the recipe was slightly changed. The shape of the finished khachapuri also changed - from round to square. However, Georgian bakers say that the main thing in khachapuri is not the filling or the method of baking, but a warm heart and skillful hands.
This recipe for khachapuri in 10 minutes is also called in Tbilisi, because it was in this area that it got its distribution.
To prepare 9 khachapuri we need:
- Wheat flour - 3 cups (2 in the dough, 1 for adding);
- Chicken Egg - 2 pcs. (1 for the test and 1 for the filling);
- Kefir - 1 glass;
- Salt - 1 teaspoon;
- Sugar - 1 tsp;
- Baking soda - 0.5 tsp;
- Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon;
- Hard cheese - 400 g;
- Butter - 50 g.
Cooking
Break one egg into a bowl, add kefir, vegetable oil, salt, sugar there. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
In the resulting mixture, sift two cups of flour and pour soda.
Knead the dough. It should be soft and stick a little to your hands. Do not pour a lot of flour, otherwise the khachapuri will turn out tough. We cover the finished dough with a paper towel and leave it to stand for a while.
At this time we make the filling. Rub the cheese on a coarse grater and mix with a second egg. The filling is ready.
Roll out the dough into a sausage and divide into 9 parts. From each part we make a thin cake, it should not be torn when the filling is inside. Put the filling in the center. We collect the edges of the tortillas so that a bag is obtained and we well mingle.
Turn the bag over and roll it a little with a rolling pin, turn it over again and roll it on the other side too.
Khachapuri baked in a hot pan without oil, fried on both sides until golden. Ready-made, still hot khachapuri are immediately greased with butter.
You can serve khachapuri as an independent dish, you can eat them with tea or juice. You can use them as a side dish for meat dishes, or you can just eat with herbs and vegetables. In any case, you will enjoy this wonderful dish.
