The history of khachapuri is deeply connected to Georgia's culinary traditions—its various types are a pride of the region. This recipe is convenient for quick preparation while preserving all the richness of flavor, offering a warm feeling of Georgian hospitality.

Cooking steps

1. Add one egg, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil to the kefir and mix well. Sift 2 cups of flour (leave one cup for dusting), add baking soda, mix and combine with the kefir mixture. Knead a soft dough by gradually adding flour until it can hold its shape; the dough will be slightly sticky to the hands. The key is not to overdo it with the flour; otherwise, the khachapuri will turn out tough. Cover the dough with a napkin and let it rest.

   Required ingredients:

   • Kefir: 1 glass
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Sugar: 1 teaspoon
   • Salt: 1 teaspoon

2. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, add one egg, and mix. The filling is ready.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cheese: 400 g
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces

3. We form a sausage from the dough and cut it into 9 pieces. From each piece of dough, we make a flatbread. We place the cheese filling in the center. Then, pulling the edges of the flatbread together, we gather them in the center and seal them. We turn the resulting pouch over and roll it out a bit, then turn it again and roll it out but not too much.
