Description

This soft, cheese-filled bread is the national dish of the country of Georgia. Part of its charm is that it varies by region; the open-faced Adjaruli version is filled with cheese and herbs, and garnished with an egg on top. Georgians typically serve khachapuri for breakfast or enjoy it at lunch; either way, it's a traditional way to welcome friends and family to the table. Using bread flour in this khachapuri recipe makes the dough easier to work with, less prone to tear, and a sturdier "nest" for its substantial filling.
