Step cooking
Knead the dough
- Sift through a fine sieve 300 g of premium wheat flour. Pour 7 g of dry yeast and 5 g of table salt and granulated sugar there. Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients, after which we make a small depression in the center of the flour mixture.
- Lightly heat 170 ml of bottled water - the liquid should be warm. Pouring warm water into the hole in small portions, knead a homogeneous soft dough.
- We lay the finished dough in a deep bowl, and then cover it with a kitchen towel and send it to a warm place so that it "fits" for about half an hour.
- The dough that has come up is thoroughly crushed by hands, then we divide it into two equal parts. Each part is slightly crushed again, after which we form a ball. Fold the blanks on a flat surface and cover them with a towel. Allow the test to "rise" again within 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the filling
Suluguni cheese in the amount of 350 g manually knead until a homogeneous crumbly mass. If desired, you can grind the product with a fine grater. Add to the cheese mass 50-100 ml of cream until a thick, porridge-like mixture is obtained. Adjust the amount of cream yourself, the main thing is that the cheese mass is not dry, but has a consistency similar to the curd mass in the store.
Collecting Khachapuri
- We put the enlarged ball of dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour. We stretch the dough with our hands, forming a cake with a diameter of about 10-13 cm. We spread half of the total cheese mass on a thin layer. Evenly distribute the cheese over the entire surface of the tortillas.
- On two opposite sides, gently wrap the edges of the dough 2-3 times, and then connect their edges. As a result, you should get a product resembling a boat. We lay out the blanks on a greased baking sheet.
Bake products
- We send products to the oven heated to 200 ° C, where we bake them for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, we break two eggs, carefully separating the protein from the yolk, while laying out the yolks in different containers. Some hostesses leave a small amount of protein with the yolk, but this only depends on your desire. Beat the remaining protein thoroughly with a whisk. We remove khachapuri from the oven and generously lubricate them with a protein mixture, and then return the products to the oven to bake. 1 minute before readiness, again remove the baked goods from the oven and put the yolk in the center of the product.
- We send the treat back to the oven for another 1 minute so that the yolk “seizes”. Lubricate the edges of the finished decoration with butter, and then serve the pastries on the table.
