PP khachapuri with cottage cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make PP khachapuri with cottage cheese? You just need to follow the recipe. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You will learn all the intricacies of preparing dough from rice flour by reading the article at the end of this recipe. You can replace rice flour with any gluten-free flour: oatmeal, corn, etc. You can also prepare khachapuri from regular flour. But keep in mind that you may need more or less flour of other types.

2. STEP 2

   

   Divide the eggs into whites and yolks.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the egg whites and mix thoroughly. Cottage cheese for khachapuri is suitable for any fat content. I have 9%. How to choose the most suitable cottage cheese, read the link in the article at the end of the recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add baking powder and salt to the cottage cheese.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add rice flour in portions and knead into a soft, elastic, homogeneous dough, adding a little more flour if necessary.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the dough into two equal parts.

7. STEP 7

   

   Form each piece of dough into a boat on a piece of parchment. To do this, first roll out the dough into an oval, and then roll the sides towards each other. Pinch the ends of the boats well so that they do not come apart during baking.

8. STEP 8

   

   Using a brush, brush the sides of the resulting boats with the remaining yolks. Transfer the workpieces to a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 10 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Now prepare the filling. You can use any cheese: suluguni or mozzarella, regular Russian or any other to your taste. The main thing is that it is tasty, without milk fat substitutes and melts well.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

11. STEP 11

    

    In a bowl, combine cottage cheese with grated cheese and mix. If you wish, you can make khachapuri without cottage cheese in the filling, only with cheese.

12. STEP 12

    

    Fill the dough with curd and cheese filling and use a spoon to make small indentations in the center for the eggs. Return the khachapuri to the oven for another 5-10 minutes. Times are approximate and will depend on your oven operation. Read more about ovens in the article at the end of the recipe.

13. STEP 13

    

    When the sides of the boats are browned and the cheese in the filling has melted, break an egg into the center of each boat. Bake the khachapuri for about 5 more minutes. The surface of the egg should set, but the yolk should remain runny. If you wish, you can add a piece of butter to each boat.

14. STEP 14

    

    Serve hot Adjarian-style khachapuri with cottage cheese to the table immediately. Bon appetit!

I wanted Georgian cuisine without harming my figure, so I decided to cook PP khachapuri with cottage cheese. I did everything according to the recipe. It took exactly 100 grams of flour, but as the author wrote, you need to look at the consistency of the dough, since cottage cheese can be more watery/dry and the sizes of the eggs can be different, which can slightly affect the amount of flour used. The cottage cheese can be rubbed through a sieve so that there are no curd lumps left or punched with a blender. Before putting the boats in the oven, I pricked the core with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. As a filling I used a mixture of suluguni and mozzarella cheeses. The finished khachapuri exceeded all my expectations! The crispy crust combined with delicate melted cheese will not leave anyone indifferent! Thanks to the author for the recipe!

Thanks for the recipe, it turned out very tasty :) I put in 2 times less cheese. But I forgot to make a depression in the middle, and the ends didn’t work out. The dough itself turned out to be very loose in structure, the sides did not hold their shape well - in the end it did not look like classic khachapuri, of course 😁. Each one weighed 295 grams. The taste is simply incomparable, now this is my favorite pastry with cottage cheese! 🤗
