Khachapuri with cheese step by step photo recipe

Making khachapuri is conventionally divided into three steps: 1) making dough for khachapuri; 2) preparing cheese for khachapuri 3) in fact, making khachapuri themselves in a metal frying pan or in the oven. Before continuing, I would like to make a small disclaimer: I understand that the dough for Georgian khachapuri is not prepared from kefir (as in my recipe), but from matsoni, and yes! I also understand that to make “real khachapuri” it is not Adyghe cheese that is used (as in my recipe), but the following cheeses are used: Imeretian, Chanakh, Kobi, feta cheese. So, we’ve sorted this out, you can start preparing our khachapuri from Adyghe cheese!

Khachapuri dough

The dough for khachapuri, as Pokhlebkin writes, is of a special kind, which “... formally could be called a rich unleavened dough, but it is most often intermediate between yeast and yeast-free dough, since for real khachapuri an acidic medium such as matsoni is introduced into the dough , and sometimes an additional baking powder is added to it - soda. A loose dough is kneaded. In the end, it comes out especially affectionate. Apart from matsoni or milk (sour cream, yogurt), the dough for khachapuri also includes eggs, the proportion of which, like milk, is literally determined. On the contrary, the amount of flour is usually not determined; it is taken as much as is required for a certain amount of milk and eggs to knead a soft dough that lags behind the hands... ” Based on this information, we begin to prepare the dough for khachapuri.

Sift about 1 cup of flour into a bowl to enrich the flour with oxygen.

We make a hole in the middle of the pile of flour, pour one glass of matsoni into the hole (well, in our case, an ordinary drink),

Break two eggs into our future khachapuri dough and add about a quarter teaspoon of salt,

Then we knead the eggs, matsoni (kefir) and flour into a loose dough for khachapuri, which should not stick to your hands; accordingly, you need to add just enough flour so that the dough for khachapuri comes out as the indicated mixture...

We form a ball from the khachapuri dough, and...

We leave the dough to rest under the lid (or simply wrap it in a plastic bag) for 20-25 minutes, and while it rests, we begin to make the inside for khachapuri based on our Adyghe cheese (or, if someone is lucky, you can use the following for the inside “correct” cheeses – Imeretian, Chanakh, Kobi, feta cheese)

Preparing the insides for khachapuri

We have already decided that we prepare these khachapuri from Adyghe cheese, but if anyone is struggling to get the correct cheeses named above, I am sharing information from Pokhlebkin’s Great Encyclopedia of Culinary Art on what and how to do with them correctly: “ ...For the inside of khachapuri, the following cheeses are used : Imeretian, Chanakh, Kobi, feta cheese. Previously, they are freed from salt, for which they are cut into flat slices 1 cm wide, placed in an enamel bowl, filled with cool water (only young Imeretian cheese is not subjected to preparatory soaking), covered with a lid and soaked for 2-5 hours, depending on the degree of salinity of the cheese. Then the cheese is thrown into a colander, lightly squeezed by hand through cheesecloth or calico, then pounded, adding beaten raw eggs and butter or ghee. , balls the size of a large apple are formed and left for 2-3 hours and even “sing”…”

Well, we’ll create everything much simpler: we take our Adyghe cheese and a coarse grater,

Grate about 700 grams of Adyghe cheese on a large grater,

Prepare about 100 gr. butter,

We put it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt it, but at the same time, make sure that our butter does not boil!

Break two eggs into the grated cheese, add a little salt to our future khachapuri filling, mix everything thoroughly and,

Pour the melted butter into the filling and mix everything thoroughly one more time. Next, you can, as the great Pokhlebkin bequeathed, from the acquired consistency, form balls the size of a large apple and throw them for 2-3 hours and even “sing” them, or, forget about this action, and stupidly leave the cheese to soak in butter and salt for minutes 20 right in the same basin (in which the filling for khachapuri was prepared), which is actually what I did. So, while our insides are infused, we can begin making khachapuri, i.e. their formation and baking.

Making khachapuri

We divide the previously kneaded and rested dough for khachapuri into four parts as shown in the recipe photo,

Add a little flour to the table, and cut each quarter in half,

We roll out each eighth of dough into layers approximately 1.5-2 mm wide (I recommend preparing dough layers in 2 pieces (exactly as much as is needed to make 1st khachapuri), otherwise you will be tortured by hanging 8 layers of rolled dough around the kitchen!).

We take a cast-iron (this is the standard, of course you can use any) frying pan, grease it with butter, cover it with one rolled out layer of dough, on top of which we spread our cheese filling for khachapuri, in a layer of about 0.5 cm (a little thicker is possible),

Next, on top of the cheese you need to put the same 2nd layer of rolled out dough (which needs to be rolled out so that it has the smallest diameter) and pinch the edges of the khachapuri tightly.

Heat the stove to medium temperature, place our cast iron frying pan with khachapuri on it, close the frying pan on top with a lid (plate) and bake the khachapuri for about 10 minutes over moderate heat,

…. until one side is baked, i.e. browned. After baking one side of the khachapuri, it is turned over to the other side, greased on top with a previously prepared mixture of melted butter and the remaining egg, after which you need to continue baking the khachapuri but without a lid. We perform a similar function three more times, since in total we should get 4 khachapuri from the indicated goods. As you have already realized, there is a small discrepancy in the described method of making khachapuri. We are talking about the method of making (sculpting) khachapuri numbered 2, 3 and 4. The fact is that they will no longer be able to be formed in a frying pan, since then it would have to be allowed to cool after baking any previous khachapuri , so I’m cutting the truth! Other khachapuri are molded (correctly) separately on the table, and later placed in a frying pan, seam side down, and baked that way... The first copies will naturally differ in diameter from the frying pan, but from my own experience I understand that the penultimate and last khachapuri has every chance turn out just right!

Freshly prepared khachapuri is laid out on a flat surface (in the standard - wood, but I just used a flat dish), greased with oil and immediately served hot! Bon appetit everyone and good luck in making the recipe for khachapuri with cheese described just above.

Recipe Notes

In addition to forming khachapuri from two rolled out layers of dough (as described by Pokhlebin), there is another method: with your hands you need to create a thick flat cake from a quarter of the dough, put the cheese filling formed into a ball the size of an apple in the middle of the flat cake, then seal the edges of the dough so that it comes out a large dumpling (or more precisely a bun), and then the bun is flattened by hand and this whole system is rolled into khachapuri.

Khachapuri with Adyghe cheese made from puff pastry

How wonderful it is that there are holidays in the world. Such as New Year's. When we can meet with family, friends and loved ones. Choose or make gifts. Decorate the Christmas tree, turn on funny lanterns. Cut salads and bake something tasty in the oven. Watch old spiritual films. Ride the roller coaster and light sparklers. Think about all this.

Happy holiday everyone!

But the recipe now is not at all New Year’s, but excellent - khachapuri with puff pastry cheese .

• — puff pastry (ready-made, 1 package, 450 g),
• - Adyghe cheese (350 g),
• - testicle (1 piece),
• - butter (50 g).

The choice of Adyghe cheese for khachapuri in this recipe is explained by the fact that it behaves well even when cool, and specifically, it does not turn into a hard crust. And then everything is simple.

Grate the cheese on a large grater.

Add melted butter and half a raw egg.

Mix everything thoroughly.

Defrost the puff pastry and roll it out to form 4 squares.

Place ¼ of the inside on any square of dough.

And pinch the edges like an envelope.

It turns out to be a puff envelope.

Place the khachapuri on a baking sheet and, to prevent the cheese from leaking out, pierce it in several places with a toothpick. Or leave a small hole in the center.

Lubricate with the remaining half of the raw egg.

Place in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 15 minutes, until our khachapuri is browned.

Well, it’s better to eat it hot. In cool khachapuri with cheese it’s also good.
