There is no single recipe for khachapuri, nor is there a single shape for this flatbread. I would like to introduce you to another simple molding. Watch how to make khachapuri from ready-made puff pastry.

Khachapuri with Adyghe cheese made from puff pastry

Kitchen utensils: rolling pin, mold, grater, bowl.

List of ingredients

Step-by-step preparation

Khachapuri with cheese can be made from puff pastry or yeast-free dough. I'm often too lazy to bother with a reusable roller, so I buy it at the store. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve the same layering at home.

For this recipe we only need two layers. But before you start cooking, you must first defrost it at room temperature. You should not do this in the microwave or on a radiator to speed up the process, otherwise you will simply ruin the dough.

1. Place the layers on a cutting board, and while it thaws, let’s make the filling.

2. Grate hard and Adyghe cheese, as well as butter, on the coarse side of a grater. It will add juiciness and creamy taste to the filling.

3. Finely chop the greens. I take parsley and dill in equal quantities. If desired, add fresh cilantro.

4. Separate the egg white and pour it into the bowl with the filling. We will need the yolk a little later to grease the top of the khachapuri.

5. Mix all filling ingredients.

6. Sprinkle each sheet with flour and roll out slightly larger than the size of the mold. Trim off excess dough.

7. Grease the mold and transfer one layer onto it using a rolling pin. Raise the sides by about 1.5-2 centimeters.

8. Spread the filling in an even layer over the dough pan.

9. Place the second part of the dough on top and pinch the edges.

   If there is no suitable form, then cover a baking sheet with baking parchment and assemble the khachapuri on it.

10. We take a knife and divide the workpiece into 6-8 portions.

11. Brush the top with yolk and bake at 190-200° until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

12. Transfer the khachapuri from the mold to a dish and serve.

Only khachapuri from lavash is prepared faster than from ready-made puff pastry. You can fry khachapuri from unleavened dough in a frying pan or in a slow cooker.

Baking process

Khachapuri can be baked in the oven or in a frying pan. If you use the oven, you can achieve the greatest layering of the dough. The oven is heated to 200-220 degrees and the khachapuri is baked for 15-20 minutes.

Tip: Before putting the products in the oven, brush them with egg yolk for an appetizing crust.

As you can see, the Georgian delicacy can be baked from the most ordinary products that can be found in everyone’s refrigerator, and preparation does not require special skills.

Variation of khachapuri made from puff pastry with cottage cheese

Not only feta cheese and Adyghe cheese are suitable for filling. It can be made from suluguni or feta . Khachapuri is also made with cottage cheese in combination with hard cheese. For this you will need 250 g of any cottage cheese. It needs to be ground with 1 tsp. salt. Then grate hard cheese and add chopped herbs. If the cottage cheese is fatty, then there is no need to add oil.

Triangles

1. Without rolling, divide the defrosted dough into squares.

2. Place a mound of cheese filling in the center of each.

3. Cover one edge of the cheese and get triangles.

4. We pinch both sides. You can press them down with a fork, like on pasties.

If you want to get fluffy and flaky edges, then step back about one centimeter from the edge to the center and press along the perimeter with your fingers. Adjarian-style khachapuri is often made in the form of triangles with stratified edges.

Envelopes

1. Divide one sheet of dough into 4 parts and roll them out. Trim the uneven edges to make a square.

2. Place the filling in the middle.

3. We connect all four ends in the center. In this case, there is no need to connect the edges. During baking, they will unfold beautifully and the browned filling will be visible.

I recommend making this form for Imeretian-style khachapuri.

Homemade Khachapuri

This is the fastest recipe, but khachapuri is the least reminiscent of real Georgian pastries. The dough can be made into cottage cheese. To do this, add an egg, salt, cottage cheese, soda, quenched with vinegar or lemon, to melted butter or margarine. Everything is mixed and flour is gradually introduced. After kneading the dough, leave it in the refrigerator.

For the filling, cheese is grated, herbs and garlic are chopped. The finished dough is rolled out into a flat cake and placed on a baking sheet. All the filling is laid out on it, another sheet of dough is placed on top, the edges are pinched. The surface of the cake is greased with yolk and baked in the oven for 30 minutes. The finished dish can be eaten the next day by preheating it in a frying pan or in the microwave.
