Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make khachapuri with suluguni cheese in the oven? Prepare the ingredients for the test first.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift 350 grams of flour into a bowl. Thanks to this, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished dough will turn out more tender and fluffy. Add yeast and mix well.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat the water slightly to a temperature of approximately 38 degrees. It should become pleasantly warm, but not hot. Otherwise, the yeast may die if it comes into contact with it. Read about all the intricacies of working with yeast in a separate article (link at the end of the recipe). Add salt, sugar and vegetable oil to the water.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour the water into the flour. Knead the dough. Mix first with a spoon and then with your hands. The dough will quickly become smooth, elastic and non-sticky. During the kneading process you may need more flour, use the remaining 50 grams or a little more. Cover the bowl and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. I always put yeast dough in the oven with the light on.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.

Step 6

The dough will approximately double in size after rising.

Step 8

Separate half the dough and place it on a floured work surface. Roll out the dough into a circle about 5mm thick. Place half of the cheese filling in the center of the dough and distribute it evenly.

Step 9

Step 9
Gather the edges of the dough towards the center into a knot and pinch.

Step 10

Step 10
Carefully roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a thin cake. Turn it seam side down. Using a knife, make a small hole in the center to allow steam to escape.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the cake on a baking sheet lined with parchment or greased with oil. You can choose the right parchment paper by reading a separate article about the features of parchment, the link is at the end of the recipe. Brush the top with beaten egg. Sprinkle with reserved cheese.
