Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 2 cups feta cheese, grated
  • 1 cup parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by combining flour and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  3. Add the yeast mixture to the flour, mixing to form a dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. For the cheese filling, combine mozzarella, feta, and parsley in a bowl, mixing thoroughly.
  7. Divide the risen dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
  8. Spread the cheese mixture on one half of each dough circle, fold the other half over, and press the edges to seal.
  9. Place the sealed khachapuri on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  11. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
