Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

In a bowl mix the water, sugar and yeast.

step 2

Add the flour, salt and oil. Start to mix until all the ingredients are incorporated in the dough, then move to knead on a working surface.

step 3

Knead the dough for 6-8 min, until it gets smooth, elastic and beautiful.

step 4

Punch the dough and divide it into two pieces.

step 5

Each piece round to a ball and let them rest for about 10-15 min.

step 6

Prepare the filling by mixing all the cheeses together with the chopped canned artichokes, spinach and black pepper

step 7

Preheat the oven to 450F or 230C.

step 8

Using a rolling pin- open each ball to a 1/2 cm thickness rectangle shape.

step 9

Roll the longer part of the rectangle dough towards the center, leaving about 5-6 cm space in between them (to fill in the cheese filling).

step 10

Close the edges of the rolled part to create a boat shape.

step 11

Fill the center with the cheese filling, spread it evenly. Use half the amount of the filling for each piece of dough. Not less, not more.

step 12

Bake for 12-14 min- until all the cheese melted and the edges start to get some color.

step 13

Take out the oven and using a spoon, make a hole in each Khachapuri for the egg yolk.

step 14

Fill the hole with an egg yolk and keep baking for additional 2 min (we want the egg yolk to be a bit runny still).

step 15

Take out from the oven. Place a nice chunk of butter to melt in the Khachapuri and brush the crust with melted butter.

step 16

Eat while it’s still hot, take a piece of the crust and dip it in the cheese and the egg yolk.

step 17

YASSS!
