Description

Some food bloggers simply translate Khachapuri with cheese bread. However, this word does not do justice to this traditional recipe of Georgian cuisine. Khachapuri is almost a staple food in Georgia. It serves as a breakfast, snack, appetizer and main course. Khachapuri is so important in Georgia that the state university in the capital Tbilisi even created the Khachapuri index. He indicates the rate of inflation by calculating the prices of the ingredients for Khachapuri.

There are countless variations from the Georgian version of pizza. Many of them are named after regions of the country. Adscharan-style khachapuri is identified by the shape of a boat made of yeast dough surrounding melted cheese. An egg is beaten over the cheese and baked in the oven.
