Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make Adjara-style khachapuri from ready-made puff pastry? Very simple and quite fast. The dough can be used rolled into a roll weighing 500 g. You will need 2 such rolls. But I prefer to use the dough in rectangular sheets of 200 g each. The night before, transfer the dough from the freezer to the refrigerator to defrost.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. For khachapuri it is better to use original Georgian cheese, that is, suluguni. But you can replace it with cheaper varieties. for example, Russian or Gouda. Or mix suluguni with regular cheese.

Step 3

Step 3
Lightly beat one egg with a fork for brushing.

Step 4

Step 4
Roll out each sheet of dough on a floured table into a rectangle measuring approximately 30x40 cm. Trim the corners of the rectangle, rounding the sides.

Step 5

Step 5
Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg. Place about 50 g of grated cheese on the long sides.

Step 6

Step 6
Fold the cheese sides towards each other, forming a boat. The cheese will end up inside the sides of the khachapuri. Form the rest of the khachapuri in the same way.

Step 7

Step 7
Transfer the pieces to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the sides of the boats with beaten egg and prick the bottom with a fork. Place the pieces in an oven preheated to 230-240°C for 10 minutes until a light golden brown crust appears.

Step 8

Step 8
Then evenly distribute about 50 g of cheese into the middle of the khachapuri. Carefully break one large egg at a time into the center, trying to keep the yolk intact. Return the boats to the oven for another 5-7 minutes. The white should thicken, but the yolk should remain runny.

Step 9

Step 9
Remove the finished Adjarian khachapuri from the oven and immediately grease the sides with butter. Place pieces of butter inside the boats on the sides of the eggs. Serve lazy khachapuri from ready-made Adjarian dough to the table hot. Bon appetit!
