Today we will prepare a well-known and beloved dish by many - khachapuri. The word itself consists of two Georgian words: “khacha” (cottage cheese) and “puri” (bread). The traditional Georgian recipe uses young Imeretian cheese, which has too short a shelf life, making it impossible to import to other countries.

The use of young cheese gives the national treat an unforgettable taste. In addition, to make the dough tender and melting, Georgian housewives knead it with whey from the same cheese. We have to use regular kefir and suluguni, which is a more mature version of its Imeretian sister product.

Of course, every housewife dreams of bringing her own cooking recipe closer to the Georgian culinary canons, and comes up with various tricks. Let's find out what cooking features exist and try to surprise your friends and family with delicious khachapuri.

Recipe for making khachapuri with puff pastry cheese.

If we have ready-made puff pastry from the store, then we need to defrost it first. We take the dough out of the package and leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes, possibly more.

Grate the cheese on a medium grater; Adyghe or other soft cheeses can be mashed with a fork. Add the egg and melted butter. Let's mix.

On a work surface dusted with flour, roll out the dough into a thin layer, which we then cut into relatively even squares.

If we are making triangular khachapuri, then we put the cheese filling on the square of dough, shifting it slightly to one of the corners, fold the triangle, and pinch the edges. You can roll it with a rolling pin so that the khachapuri is thin and flat; after baking, it will still rise.

For round or square khachapuri, place the filling in the center, fold the dough into an envelope, then pinch the corners towards the center, turn them over with the pinch down and roll them out with a rolling pin, giving the desired shape.

Place the khachapuri on a baking sheet; I didn’t grease it with anything, but you can grease it with vegetable oil.

Bake khachapuri in an oven preheated to 180-200 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. For a more beautiful color of the finished khachapuri, you can brush them with egg before baking.

The birthplace of khachapuri is Georgia. This is a traditional dish of the country, made from dough and filling (cheese, cottage cheese). There are a large number of recipes - with different fillings, dough, cooking methods. The recipe for khachapuri made from puff pastry is one of the simplest, and the result is a delicious, airy dish.

Its name comes from two words - “khacho” (cottage cheese) and “puri” (bread). Georgians say that to prepare real khachapuri you need not only flour, eggs and cheese, but also the warm heart of the cook. In different regions of Georgia this dish is prepared in its own way. In Adjara there are boats filled with cheese and a raw egg inside, in Megrelia there is a flatbread with cheese filling in the middle, and in Imereti there is a closed flatbread filled with cheese. Khachapuri is loved not only in Georgia. Recipes for Ossetian khachapuri are known; they can also be tried in Abkhazia and Sochi (until 1919 the city belonged to the territory of Georgia).

The dough for classic khachapuri is yeast. However, there are many puff pastry recipes. It takes longer to prepare than regular yeast dough, but the taste is much superior to it.

Therefore, many housewives choose puff khachapuri. By the way, in Adjara (region of Georgia) they are also prepared, but they are called “achma”. The principle of preparing the dish is reminiscent of lasagna. The cheese filling is spread on oiled sheets of dough and baked in the oven. It turns out to be a very tender flatbread.

The classic filling for khachapuri is Imeretian cheese. However, it is difficult to find it in stores, so resourceful cooks replace it with suluguni, feta cheese, salted cottage cheese, Adyghe cheese and other fillings. The article offers recipes on how to prepare khachapuri from puff pastry with various available fillings.

1. The amount of filling should correspond to the volume of dough. Only in this case will you get khachapuri with a rich cheese taste. The cheese for the dish should be salty. Georgians use Imeretian cheese. Before cooking, it is soaked in water for 5-6 hours to make it less salty. The same should be done with alternative salty cheeses, such as feta cheese.
2. Bake in the oven only! A quick recipe for preparing khachapuri without an oven is offered, for example, in a frying pan. But this will no longer be the same dish that is served in Georgia. In addition, there are types of khachapuri that can only be baked in the oven. For example, Adjarian khachapuri with puff pastry suluguni, or Megrelian (with cheese filling on top).
3. Eat only hot! Another feature of khachapuri is its airiness. The dough should be soft, melting in your mouth, and the filling (cheese) should melt under high temperatures and soak into the mass. After cooling, it coarsens and the filling becomes hard. Of course, you can heat the cooled khachapuri in the microwave or in a frying pan with a small amount of water, but the taste will be completely different.

Do we make the dough ourselves or buy it?

If we are talking about real Georgian khachapuri, then the dough must be freshly prepared. Khachapuri made from ready-made puff pastry will be less greasy and not as airy.

There are several recipes for making puff pastry for this dish. Khachapuri made from puff pastry takes longer to prepare. The dough and the dough itself must be kept warm for some time. Yeast-free dough cooks faster, but it is not as airy as yeast dough.

Yeast puff pastry for khachapuri

First of all, you need to prepare the dough - dissolve a pinch of sugar in a glass of warm milk (so that the yeast grows better) and 10 grams of dry yeast. Leave to infuse for 15-20 minutes. After this, pour the dough into a large container, add salt to taste, a raw egg and mix. Gradually add flour, but not all at once, but in portions (the total amount is about one glass) and mix. It's better to knead with your hands. At the end, when a thick dough has formed, add 100 grams of soft, but not melted butter, and knead again. It is important not to put much effort into the process so that the dough does not turn out “clogged.” After this, leave it in a warm place, covered with a paper napkin. While it sits (about 60 minutes), you can prepare the filling. After this time, roll out the dough into a rectangle 1.5-2 cm thick, place 100 grams of softened (but not melted) butter on the edge, cover 1/3 of the layer. Place another 100 grams of butter on top and cover with the remaining third of the dough. Roll out so that the layers of dough and butter are equal in thickness, fold the layer in half, and roll out again. Repeat this 3-4 times. The result will be a dough with 30-32 layers of butter.

Yeast-free puff pastry for khachapuri

To prepare it you will need 400 grams of flour and 200 grams of soft butter. Mix the ingredients, add half a glass of cold water, a little sugar, a pinch of salt and mix everything thoroughly. Cover the resulting dough with a paper towel and refrigerate for several hours. After this, roll it out into a rectangle 2 cm thick, fold it in half, and roll it out again. Repeat this 3-4 times. That's it, the dough is ready!

Recipe for khachapuri made from puff pastry with cheese

Having prepared the dough according to one of the above recipes, you can start filling. We take Adyghe or ordinary hard cheese, but salty varieties. Grate on a fine mesh grater. The filling is ready.

Let's prepare Imeretian khachapuri with puff pastry cheese. To do this, roll out the dough into a flat cake 1.5-2 cm thick, place cheese in the center. We gather its edges into an accordion over the dough, pinch them so that they do not unravel. Carefully roll out the resulting ball so that it again takes the shape of a flat cake. Place top down on a baking sheet and bake at 200-220 degrees for 5-10 minutes.

Adjarian boat recipe

Adjarian khachapuri with puff pastry suluguni is the closest recipe to a real Georgian dish. We prepare the dough as standard. The highlight of this dish is the filling.

Roll out the finished mass into a flat cake and form a boat. To do this, we begin to roll the edges of the cake into a tube, leaving about a third of the distance between them at the end. Place the filling in the center - finely grated suluguni cheese. Place the boat in the oven, preheated to 200-220 degrees for 10-15 minutes. After that, dip several pieces of butter into the cheese filling and break one egg on top. Once again, place the boat in the oven for 1-2 minutes so that the whites curl slightly.

Adjarian khachapuri should be eaten hot, tearing off a piece of dough with cheese and dipping it in the yolk.

Khachapuri with suluguni cheese

Let's prepare Megrelian khachapuri with suluguni cheese. To do this, we form a flatbread, put half of the cheese on it, as described in the previous recipe. Place top down on a baking sheet. We make a hole in the center with a diameter of 3-5 cm, grease the surface of the flatbread with raw yolk and lay out the second half of the cheese. Place the cake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. It turns out khachapuri with a golden cheese top.

Khachapuri with feta cheese made from puff pastry

Brynza is the most affordable cheese. Khachapuri is prepared with feta cheese in the same way as with suluguni. Just don’t grate the filling, but mash it with a fork and add an egg to hold it together a little.

The cheese itself is very salty, so it is recommended to soak it in water for about an hour before preparing the dish.

The mass is baked in the oven at a temperature of 200-220 degrees for just under half an hour.

Khachapuri with cottage cheese on a puff base

It’s better to use full-fat homemade cottage cheese for the filling, then you can mix it with chopped herbs. If the cottage cheese is not fatty, then it can be combined with melted butter and sour cream. You don't need to make the filling very liquid, otherwise it won't stick to the dough.

Roll out the dough into a flat cake, lay out the filling, sprinkle with salt and spices. Cover with another sheet of dough and bake in the oven.

Recipe for khachapuri made from puff pastry with meat

To prepare the meat filling you will need minced pork and beef (300 grams). To it add finely chopped onions and green onions, sweet peppers, and garlic. Mix all ingredients, salt, add 2 teaspoons of adjika. If the filling is very thick, you can add a little cold water.

Roll out the dough into a flat cake, spread the filling, a few small pieces of butter on top and cover with another sheet of dough. Pinch the edges tightly and make cuts in the top of the cake to allow steam to evaporate. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The dish is served hot.

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.

Quick khachapuri made from puff pastry “Balkan style”

This recipe allows you to use a mixture of cheeses - Adyghe, Feta, mozzarella or suluguni. The cheeses are crushed on a fine grater, salt is added (if the cheese is unsalted) and a raw egg.

The dough is divided into small fragments, each of which is rolled into a small flat cake. Place a tablespoon of filling on one edge and cover with the second edge diagonally to form a triangular envelope. Brush the surface with egg and place in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Lazy Georgian khachapuri puffs

The highlight of these khachapuri is that you do not need to prepare the dough. Thin sheets of ready-made pita bread are used. Place one sheet on a baking sheet so that the edges hang down. We tear the second sheet into small pieces. Place the filling on a baking sheet (any of the cheeses or assorted cheeses). We soak the torn pieces in kefir and egg and cover the filling with them. Then again a layer of cheese and a layer of soaked pita bread. This is how we make several layers. After this, cover the khachapuri with the hanging edges of the first sheet of lavash, grease with the kefir-egg mixture and bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
