Khachapuri

1

versions

Khachapuri is a yeasted bread stuffed or topped with melted cheese, baked until the crust browns and the cheese turns soft and pullable underneath.

Where it comes from

Regional Georgian versions differ in shape and cheese, from a closed round loaf to the open boat shape from the Adjara region, each tied to a specific area's dairy and baking habits.

What cooks argue about

The disagreement is over the cheese blend: a single soft, salty cheese melts smoothly but can taste one-note, while mixing in a firmer, milder cheese changes the stretch and how evenly it browns.
