Instructions
0 Whisk 7 grams of active dry yeast and a tablespoon of sugar into a cup of warm whole milk and set aside for 10 minutes 1 In a large bowl, add 2 1/2 cups of bread flour, a teaspoon of salt and 1/3 cup of olive oil 2 Once the yeast has bloomed and the mixture is foamy, add this to the flour mixture and mix until all of the dry flour has been incorporated 3 Knead the dough for about 5 minutes and then form the dough into a round ball and transfer into a large greased bowl 4 Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough sit in a warm place for about 25 minutes 5 While dough is resting, combine 7 ounces of soft farmers cheese with 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella, 1 large egg and a pinch of salt and black pepper and set aside for now 6 Divide the dough in half and roll each portion out to about a 12 inch long oval 7 Form the portions into a boat like shape by rolling the long sides in 2-3 times and bringing the ends in towards themselves pinching them together to close (see photos and further instructions above) 8 Transfer the shaped dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and divide the cheese filling between the two portions 9 Cover the khachapuri and let it sit in a warm place for 25 minutes 10 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees 11 Whisk an egg in a small dish and brush the exposed edges of the dough (set the leftover egg aside to use later) 12 Bake the khachapuri in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes and then transfer the baking sheet out of the oven onto a heat proof surface (close the oven door quickly to maintain the interior temperature) 13 Use the back of a spoon to form a dip in the middle of the melted cheese and crack an egg into this spot 14 Brush the dough with the remaining whisked egg and return the khachapuri to a 350 degree oven for another 4-8 minutes (depending on how set you prefer your egg) 15 Once the egg is done to your liking, transfer the khachapuri onto plates and top with a tablespoon of butter 16 Use a fork to mix the melted cheese, egg and melting butter together and enjoy!View original recipe
