Description

This Georgian cheese bread, known as Khachapuri, is a delightful and comforting dish perfect for sharing. The warm, cheesy filling nestled in a soft, slightly tangy dough is simply irresistible. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit at gatherings. The dough requires some rising time, but the Thermomix® makes the process so much easier! It's best served warm, straight from the oven, and is ideal for brunch or as a hearty appetizer. Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your liking – I sometimes add a little feta for extra flavor!
