Ingredients

Step cooking

1. We will prepare all the ingredients on the list and the work surface. First, knead the dough. To do this, pour 1 cup of warm kefir into a deep bowl, add 0.5 tsp. salt and 0.5 tsp soda, whisk mix.
   
2. Sift 320 g of wheat flour to enrich it with oxygen. Add it to the kefir in parts and knead a soft and elastic dough. Wrap the dough in cling film or put in a bag and leave to rest for 20 minutes. It will become more airy and softer.
   
3. While the dough is resting, we will make the filling for khachapuri. Put cottage cheese in a bowl; it should not be very dry. If you think the cottage cheese is dry, add a few tablespoons of sour cream. But the filling should not be too wet either. Instead of cottage cheese, you can use any brine cheese, experiment.
   
4. Finely chop the dill and add to the curd. You can add salt to your taste. You can also add any spices, garlic, other herbs to the filling, it all depends on your preferences.
   
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. To do this, you can use a kitchen scale so that each piece comes out the same.
   
6. Take a piece of dough and roll it into a thin cake.
   
7. Put the stuffing in the middle. The larger the fillings, the tastier the khachapuri.
   
8. We collect the dough in a bag and pinch well.
   
9. Then we press and with the help of hands or a rolling pin we make a cake with a thickness of 1 - 1.5 cm. Thus, we form all the khachapuri. If the edges are poorly plucked, juice may leak from the filling during baking and it will burn.
   
10. On a dry, well-heated pan, spread the tortilla, cover with a lid and bake for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat. Then we turn it over to the other side and, no longer covering it, bake another 2 - 3 minutes. Khachapuri should be covered with light brown spots on all sides.
    
11. Put the finished khachapuri on a plate and grease with butter from all sides. It will give a wonderful creamy taste and soften the resulting crust.
    
12. Khachapuri spread in a pile, one on top of the other. It is advisable to cover the finished khachapuri with a lid or foil so that they do not cool. We call everyone to the table and try a delicious dish. Khachapuri tastes best when it is warm, but the next day they are also good, only it should be slightly warmed up. Enjoy your meal!
