Lavash khachapuri with cheese in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make khachapuri from lavash with cheese in the oven? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Kefir is suitable for any fat content, but the fattier the kefir, the tastier the khachapuri will be. You can select combinations of cheeses to suit your taste. I have cheese and suluguni. Instead of Armenian lavash, you can also use a wheat roll. Read about how to choose the right pita bread at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a bowl, combine kefir, eggs and salt. Whisk until smooth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the suluguni on a coarse grater. You can replace Suluguni with mozzarella or other cheese that melts well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Crumble the cheese into small pieces with your hands or grate it on a coarse grater. You can replace feta cheese with feta or other pickled or soft cheese.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut a square from the pita bread slightly larger than the baking dish. From the rest of the pita bread, cut out 2 circles with a diameter slightly smaller than the baking dish.

6. STEP 6

   

   Tear the lavash scraps into small pieces with your hands.

7. STEP 7

   

   Dip small pieces of lavash into the kefir-egg mixture.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place a large square of pita bread in a baking dish (Ø 18-20 cm) greased with vegetable oil. Read about how to choose a baking dish in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place some grated cheese of both types on the pita bread. Place a round sheet of pita bread on the cheese. Sprinkle some of the grated cheese and suluguni on top. Place pieces of lavash soaked in kefir mixture on top of the cheese. Repeat the layers of cheese and soaked pita bread a couple more times. Leave a little suluguni to decorate the top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grease the edges of the pita bread with the kefir mixture to make them more elastic, fold them inward and lightly press them against the filling. Place a second round sheet of pita bread on top and brush it with the remaining kefir mixture.

11. STEP 11

    

    Sprinkle with the remaining suluguni. Bake the khachapuri for 25-30 minutes at 180°C until golden brown. The exact time and temperature depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the finished pie on a dish, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

So simple and very tasty! Thanks for the successful recipe. The cheese for the filling can be different. For example, as in the recipe for lazy achma with cottage cheese and hard cheese.

Today I wanted something quick and tasty. The recipe for khachapuri made from lavash with cheese in the oven fits perfectly into the concept. I bought 300 g of lavash. The first sheet was used for a square for the base, the second for circles, the remains of the sheets were soaked in kefir with eggs. If your cheese is very salty, like mine, it is not necessary to add salt to the mixture with kefir. I had homemade cheese, you can throw less of it, but more suluguni, because... The pita bread is also salty. I mistakenly put the last circle not on the top of the dish, but in the envelope itself, so the edges of the square unfolded and crunched. Don’t repeat my mistake and place the circle straight on the ends, otherwise it will dry out and be tasteless. When hot it is not critical. Although I doubt that even a crumb will remain. We dared everything in a moment! It was delicious!

Yesterday I made khachapuri from pita bread with cheese in the oven according to your recipe. I took mozzarella cheese, I took more, 250 g, I took less cheese - 100 g. I did everything else according to the recipe. It turned out VERY tasty and fast. The next day it tastes just as good as straight out of the oven. Thanks for the recipe!!! I’m adding to my collection of lavash dishes))) here’s my photo report)))
