Adjarian Khachapuri

Adjarian khachapuri is the most instantly recognizable of Georgia’s many khachapuri styles, thanks to its shape: an open boat of yeasted dough filled with melted cheese and a raw egg that finishes cooking right in the hot filling at the table. It comes from Adjara, a region on Georgia’s Black Sea coast, and the boat shape is said to be a nod to that coastline.

The dough is a simple yeasted dough, similar to pizza dough but slightly richer thanks to the vegetable oil worked in. Letting it rise fully matters here: a well-proofed dough gives a soft, faintly airy crumb on the inside while the shaped edges of the boat bake up dense and crisp, exactly what you want for dipping into the molten filling.
