Khachapuri with Adyghe cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make khachapuri with Adyghe cheese? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Remove the kefir from the refrigerator in advance so that it has time to warm up to room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the dough. Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen, then the baked goods will turn out more fluffy and airy. Mix it in a suitable sized bowl with salt and soda. There is no need to quench soda with vinegar; kefir will handle this task.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour in kefir and knead into a soft, pliable dough that doesn’t stick much to your hands and can hold its shape. If necessary, add flour, but do not overdo it, otherwise the khachapuri will turn out tough.

4. STEP 4

   

   Leave the finished dough to rest for 15-30 minutes. It will become more pliable, elastic and easier to work with.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the filling. Grate the suluguni on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Also grate Adyghe cheese. You can use any type of cheese at your discretion (hard cheese, unbrined mozzarella, feta cheese, cottage cheese, feta cheese), you will get a slightly different, but no less interesting taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix both types of cheese in a container, add salt and pepper to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the dough on the work surface. Knead, form into a sausage and divide into 4 equal parts.

9. STEP 9

   

   Roll each part thinly into a circle.

10. STEP 10

    

    Also divide the filling into 4 equal parts and use your hands to form each part into a tight ball. Place the cheese ball in the center of the dough circle. The correct proportions of khachapuri - dough and filling should be approximately the same amount.

11. STEP 11

    

    Pinch the edges of the dough in a circle, as if into a bag. Then gently flatten it into a flat cake with your hands.

12. STEP 12

    

    Turn the flatbread over with the seam down and roll it out with a rolling pin - choose the thickness of the khachapuri yourself, as you like, thinner or thicker. Pierce the pieces in several places with a fork.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place a dry frying pan over medium heat and heat. Place the workpiece and fry on both sides under the lid until a golden crust forms.

14. STEP 14

    

    Prepare all khachapuri in this way. Stack them on top of each other on a flat plate. Generously grease the surface of each khachapuri with a piece of butter.

15. STEP 15

    

    This is how delicious the cheese khachapuri turned out. Help yourself while it's hot. Can be served with sour cream and herbs. Bon appetit!

Excellent khachapuri with Adyghe cheese! The dough is pliable and easy to work with. I added greens to the cheese, I like it better. It turned out very tasty, aromatic, the family circled around the kitchen and ate it while it was still cooking. I will definitely cook it again, with different cheeses, with and without herbs. I recommend the recipe!
