The Foodie-file: Khachapuri

This is a second blog on the Georgain Cheese bread, also known as Khachapuri or Hachapuri, because I guess my pictures looked so good that people have been asking me for the recipe. Well I don’t blame them, it is delicious and well worth and easy to make.

This is the recipe for the dough:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup yoghurt

1 egg

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

Put all but 1/2 cup of flour into a bowl with the baking soda and salt and mix together. Work the butter into the flour until evenly distributed. Whisk together the yogurt and egg, make a well in the middle of the flour and add the egg and yogurt, mix the dough together to make a soft dough adding the half cup of flour if necesssary. Allow the dough to rest 30 minutes in the refrigerator before you roll it out.

Filling:

This is approximate amounts, I did not measure:

1 bunch spinach, chopped

2 anchovies, chopped

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 bunch mint, chopped

1 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated mozzarella

Saute the spinach with the garlic and anchovies until the spinach is wilted. Place in a bowl, add the cheese and chopped mint and stir together.

As I said in the previous post – you can make this into one big bread or it will make 4 small ones as pictured here which is what I prefer.

The directions for shaping the dough are in yesterday’s post.

Enjoy!
