Khachapuri is the national dish of Georgians, which has earned popularity both in the Caucasus and far beyond its borders. There are many variations of the cooking recipe; almost every Caucasian family uses its own, suitable for the taste preferences of the household. Both puff pastry and yeast or lean dough can be used. Cheese, meat or even fish are suitable for filling. However, Georgians themselves prefer the traditional recipe, which any housewife can reproduce in her own kitchen. To properly prepare khachapuri with cheese at home, it is better to follow the classic recipe step by step, supported by photos or videos to avoid mistakes.

Khachapuri traditional

Despite the variety of cooking options, true connoisseurs of Georgian cuisine will easily determine the inconsistency with the classic recipe, because it uses dough and filling prepared in a certain way.


In Georgia and Armenia, the dough is made on the basis of a fermented milk product such as matsoni. It is quite difficult to purchase it in a store; it can only be seen in large supermarkets in the metropolis, and not always. It is much easier to do it yourself using the following recommendations:
  • Boil 0.5 liters of cow's milk and cool;
  • 1 tbsp. mix sour cream with a bacterial starter or a drug to normalize intestinal function, Hilak Forte (5 drops) will do;
  • Combine the mixture with milk that has cooled to room temperature, wrap tightly in a towel and let stand for about 4-6 hours.

It is proposed to use the resulting product for the test at the rate of 2 tsp per 1 liter of milk. Then the dough will turn out to meet the standards of the classic Caucasian recipe for khachapuri with cheese. If you can’t use Georgian matsoni as a basis, you can replace it with kefir, which will make the process of preparing an already quick dish easier.

For the filling, Georgians choose Imeretian cheese, but it is very difficult to get it outside of Georgia, so variations were selected for combining cheeses of other varieties, the taste of which would be similar to “Imeruli”.

  • Adyghe cheese and suluguni;
  • Adyghe and mozzarella;
  • Adyghe and feta cheese.

If the second component is not at hand, you can only take Adyghe cheese or high-quality homemade cottage cheese.

Before starting cooking, you need to check the availability of all ingredients and follow the step-by-step recipe.

  • 250ml matsoni;
  • 300g wheat flour;
  • 0.5 tsp each of soda and salt;
  • 1 tbsp sugar;
  • 100g butter.
  • 350g Imeretian cheese (or equivalent);
  • 2 tbsp sour cream;
  • 1-2 tbsp butter;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

In order for the finished khachapuri to turn out ruddy and have an attractive glossy shine, you need to take some more butter, melt it and lubricate the resulting product.

A homemade khachapuri recipe can be quickly and easily reproduced in your kitchen, especially if you have a photo or video as a visual example.

  • For the dough, mix matsoni, salt, sugar and soda in a container. Add melted butter to the resulting mush. Mix thoroughly, the mixture should foam a little.

Before actual cooking, it is better to keep all the ingredients on the table so that they are at the same temperature. This will help avoid the formation of lumps, and the dough will come out homogeneous and ready for further use.

  • Pour flour into the container, you can gradually knead the dough with your hands. It is better to add flour through a fine sieve, which will prevent the formation of lumps. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, you can grease them with sunflower oil or sprinkle them with flour.

  • Grate the cheese or finely chop it with a knife, add soft butter and sour cream.

If the cheese is very salty, you need to soak it in water for 3-4 hours. If there is not enough salt, add it based on your taste.

The amount of butter and sour cream can be changed depending on the desired filling. It should not turn out dry or watery.

  • We divide the resulting amount of dough into 4 equal parts, this is exactly how much khachapuri we will ultimately get. To prevent it from sticking to the table or other work surface, sprinkle it with flour. We take one part of it and roll it out, forming a flat cake. You can do this with your hands, as the dough will be very pliable and soft.
  • We also divide the filling into 4 equal parts and place one of them in the center of the resulting dough piece.

  • We gather the edges in the center of the cake, fasten them together and tear off the excess. You should get a neat bag, which must be rolled out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1-1.5 cm. Sprinkle a little flour on top.

  • We heat the frying pan and place our flatbread there to bake. Oil is not usually used for cooking, so the pan must be dry. Cover with a lid and fry over medium heat for several minutes. After turning the cake over, you no longer need to cover it with a lid. Brown spots should form on the product, then it can be considered ready.
  • When the dish is removed from the heat, immediately brush it with melted butter. This will give it a golden hue and a glossy shine. Prepare the remaining 3 khachapuri in the same way.

You can add fresh cilantro, so beloved by Georgians, to the filling. The dish will acquire new taste qualities, but will no longer be considered traditional.

Khachapuri in Adjara

A favorite variation of preparing khachapuri is Adjarian style. It uses yeast dough, and the ingredients will differ significantly from the traditional recipe. However, despite its originality, this dish has earned love even among the Georgians themselves.


You can properly prepare homemade khachapuri with Adjarian cheese yourself, following step-by-step instructions. But first, let’s check whether we have prepared all the components:
  • 125 ml milk;
  • 125ml water;
  • chicken egg - 1 piece;
  • 400g flour;
  • dry yeast - 1 sachet (7g);
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil;
  • 2 tsp sugar;
  • 1 tsp salt.

All ingredients must be at the same temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to take them out of the refrigerator in advance and put them on the table.

  • Adyghe cheese - 250g;
  • mozzarella cheese - 200g;
  • raw egg - 4-5 pcs;
  • 100g butter.

It is better to make khachapuri dough in a large container, since it will rise and increase in size due to the activation of yeast. If the bowl is too small, the product will quickly “run away”. To bake delicious khachapuri at home, follow the guide step by step:

  • In a deep bowl, mix warm water and milk. Add yeast, sugar and a little flour. Place the container in a warm place for 10 minutes to allow the yeast to become active.

  • When the dough is ready, break an egg into it, add salt and pour in sunflower oil. Mix thoroughly.
  • When the mixture has become homogeneous, we begin to gradually introduce the flour sifted through a sieve and actively knead the dough. It should be smooth and slightly sticky. We make a kind of ball out of it, cover the bowl with a lid or cling film and leave for about an hour so that it increases in size and “reaches”.

  • After an hour, take out the dough and knead it thoroughly, returning it to its original dense shape. Then we leave it alone again.
  • While the dough is rising, you can make the filling. We grind the hard cheese on a grater, but you can mash the mozzarella with a fork. Combine the cheeses together and add butter. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

  • If desired, you can add herbs or your favorite herbs and spices to the filling. This will only have a positive effect on the taste of khachapuri, because they will contain already favorite notes.
  • After an hour, we take our dough out of the container and divide it into 5 equal parts. We roll out one of them on a table sprinkled with flour, the thickness is about 3-4mm. This will be our preparation for future “boats”.
  • Spread the filling onto the edges of the workpiece, leaving a small clean area between the opposite sides. After this, we roll up the edges into a tube, as if rolling cheese into them. We fasten the clean sections of the cake together, you should get a boat. We place the cheese filling in the center, having previously greased the workpiece with egg yolk.

  • The egg yolk must be separated from the white. You can add garlic or dried herbs. It is necessary to grease the boat so that the baked goods turn out golden brown. It is more convenient to use a silicone brush, in this case there will be no pale spots left.
  • Place a baking sheet with our boats in an oven preheated to 220 degrees and bake until the crust is slightly golden. You can check the readiness with a toothpick by piercing the dough with it. If it remains clean, Adjarian-style khachapuri with cheese is about to be ready.
  • A few minutes before it’s ready, take the khachapuri out of the oven, crush the filling a little and pour in the raw egg. Return the pan and wait for the whites to turn white. When baking is finished, you can remove the finished boats from the oven and serve.

To decorate the resulting masterpiece of cooking, you can use cilantro, which is close to Georgian dishes. This will give the pumps brightness and a fresh shade.

  • warm water – 150 ml,
  • flour – 250 g,
  • salt;

For filling:

  • cheese "Adygei" - 50 g,

Prepare the dough: combine 250 g flour, 1 tsp. dry yeast with 150 ml of warm boiled water, 10 g of melted butter, add a little salt. Mix everything, cover with a towel and leave for half an hour to rise in a warm place. When the dough has risen, cut it into pieces and roll into oval shapes. Roll up the edges into ropes, shape the dough into boats, and brush the edges with milk.

Place the boats on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake the flatbreads for 15 minutes. at a temperature of 200 degrees.

For the filling, grate 50 g of “Adygei” and “Dutch” cheese on a coarse grater. Mix the cheeses. Place the filling into baked dough “boats”. Place the filled khachapuri back into the oven for 5 minutes. just enough for the cheese to melt.

We will use the following products:

Ingredients:

  • Wheat flour – 1kg
  • Warm water – 0.5 liters
  • Granulated sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Dry granulated yeast – 1 tablespoon
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Vegetable oil – 100 ml
  • Eggs – 2 pieces
  • Butter or margarine – 50 g per dough
  • Butter – 100 g for filling
  • Cheese – 1400 g

Cooking process:

From this amount of ingredients we will get 4 khachapuri flatbreads, each one will require approximately 350 g of cheese filling.


Ideally, for the filling, of course, use tender, lightly salted Adyghe cheese, Ossetian or Imeretian; sometimes I add Russian (or any other) cheese to Adyghe cheese.

Let's start by preparing yeast dough for khachapuri (you can often find khachapuri dough made with sour milk, matsoni or kefir in recipes).


Pour slightly warm water into a deep cup, add sugar and dry yeast.


Leave them for 15 minutes, during which time the yeast will dissolve in the water and turn into foam. You need to add salt to it.

Heat the vegetable oil along with margarine or butter, do not make them hot so as not to kill the yeast. Place in a bowl with yeast.


Add sifted flour to them and knead the dough. Sometimes I knead the dough for khachapuri in a bread machine, it’s more convenient.


The yeast dough will rise and mature in a warm place for about 1 hour. It should expand well in volume.

Preparation of cheese filling for khachapuri:


Grate the cheese on a coarse grater or knead it well with your hands. I also grate the butter. Add the whites of two eggs, butter and salt to taste to the cheese (if the filling includes feta cheese, no salt is added). Mix everything.

In order for the khachapuri to be rosy and shiny, you need to prepare a lubricant for them.

To do this, mix the remaining yolks with two tablespoons of sunflower oil and three tablespoons of water.

The dough and filling for khachapuri are ready, the next step is to tell how to make khachapuri stuffed with cheese and eggs.


All dough and filling are divided into 4 equal parts. A ball is formed from each and a flat cake is rolled out. You need to roll it out so that it is convenient for you to place the filling on it and pinch it.


Gather the edges of the cake towards the center.


Pinch the flatbread with the filling and gently knead it with a rolling pin or hand so that the cheese filling is evenly distributed inside the thin pie.


Turn the khachapuri seam side down and roll it out using a rolling pin.

Georgian housewives bake khachapuri in a special stone or clay frying pan called ketsi. We will bake khachapuri on a baking sheet or round frying pan. Place the flatbread stuffed with cheese on a baking sheet or frying pan; they can be greased with butter or simply sprinkled with flour.

To prevent the khachapuri from rising like a mushroom during baking, we will make a pattern on it with a fork so that hot air can escape.

Bake khachapuri in the oven at high temperature, 230-250 degrees until beautifully crusted, approximately 25 minutes.

grease not with yolks, as for the oven, but with butter already prepared right on the plate.
