Khachapuri is the ultimate comfort food from the Caucasus. This specific version (Adjaruli) is shaped like a boat and filled with molten cheese, topped with a barely-set egg and a slab of butter. You tear off the crusty bread edges and dip them into the cheesy center.

Part A: Ingredients

• The Dough: 3 cups All-Purpose Flour, 1 tsp Instant Yeast, 1 tsp Salt, 1 cup Warm Water, 1 Tbsp Olive Oil.
• The Filling: 2 cups Sulguni cheese (or a 50/50 mix of Mozzarella and Feta), 1/2 cup Ricotta.
• The Topping: 2 large Eggs, 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter.

Part B: Instructions

1. Dough Rise: Mix dough ingredients and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1.5 hours until doubled.
2. Shape the Boat: Divide dough into two. Roll each into an oval. Roll the long edges inward toward the center, then pinch the ends together to create a “boat” shape with a hollow middle.
3. Fill: Mix the cheeses together and pack them tightly into the center of the dough boats.
4. Bake: Bake at $450^{\circ}\text{F}$ ($230^{\circ}\text{C}$) for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
5. The Egg: Pull the tray out, make a small well in the cheese with a spoon, and crack an egg into the center of each boat. Return to the oven for 2 minutes—the white should be set, but the yolk must stay runny.
6. Finish: Top with a pat of butter and serve immediately. Stir the egg and butter into the cheese before dipping.
