wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at discovering Georgian khachapuri (cheese boat) on your channel, im Georgian myself and have a bakery, you are baking it like a pro, great job

[@ChainBaker]

Thank you so much! :) I am planning to make an updated version of this video and I will definitely take your advice. Cheers!

[@teasichinava]

Thank you for posting this recipe. As a Georgian grandma and khachapuri baker (all my life I've been doing khachapuris) -just one note with the cheeses that you use here, don't put the flour in to the cheese filling. Otherwise, your recipe is perfect.! We do flour in the cheese when we use very freshly made curd cheese-so called -Imeruli Chkinti cheese. Yep, you were huge surprise to me. Thank you so much!

[@ChainBaker]

Thank you so much! I love feedback from natives and it really means a lot :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

OMG!!! I made your Khachapuri recipe earlier this morning (double batch, made six smaller boats).Transported the prepared dough "boats" in a cooler with ice packs to prevent them from over proofing while I drove for an hour for brunch - upon arrival, filled them with vegan cheese filling and baked them fresh. Everyone LOVED them and were astonished that this was the first time I made them!!!! Thank you for sharing. 😍😍😍 Photo has been posted

@@ChainBaker what's (Your) opinion on using cheddar cheese with these breads?

I think a mix of cheddar and mozzarella is best as you get the flavour from cheddar and the stretch from the mozzarella. Of course the best would be to use Georgian cheeses if you can get them where you live 👍

[@Darkdimka]

I made these a while back and learned from several sources, I'd like to offer few changes that will improve the result. Make the dough a more rectanglular shape, spread the cheese mix on the entire dough, leaving only 1 cm edge, when you shape the boat, the folds will contain (trap) the cheese, add remaining cheese in the boat. When adding the egg in the end, add a cube of butter as well. Cheers!

Oh yes that rolled up cheesy crust sounds like an awesome idea! Cheers.

I made 2 of these today. Feta is a must unless you have the Georgian Sulguni cheese. America's Test Kitchen featured this dish recently on PBS. They didn't do the egg... I like how you mixed the egg... I will do the egg next batch...

[@ChainBaker]

The egg is the cherry on top for sure. And yeah the feta definitely gives a great salty kick and flavour. Let me know how it was next time you try it with the egg :) 👍🏻

You inspired me. Thank you for the tips. You have the most detailed recipe for Khachapurri so far. I am waiting for my dough to proof right now :)

[@ChainBaker]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes :)

[@sassyexplorer]

@@ChainBaker so I followed your recipe, and my only mistake was that I used one entire egg for half the cheese recipe (I was making one Khachapurri) because I didnt want the egg to go to waste. Nevertheless, it tasted yummy and my siblings loved it! Next time I will also look for some goat's cheese or feta cheese so that I have a nice balance of flavors. How long can I store the dough in the fridge?

[@ChainBaker]

The dough will keep rising in the fridge so I would not suggest keeping it in there for too long. You could cover and refrigerate the whole khachapuri right after final shaping for up to 18 hours and bake it right from the fridge. Or you could place the dough in the fridge right after dividing & preshaping, then take it out the next day for final shaping and final proof. There is is a chance of it over proofing a bit depending on the temperature of your dough and the temperature of your fridge, but it should not be a massive problem 👍

[@aprilmeowmeow]

I prefer this version even though it's not "traditional" (everyone has their own home traditions, anyways... I'd like to tell someone's Georgian grandma how to make her own khachapuri, and see what she thinks 😅). The herbs make it so beautiful. I also add some garlic to the cheese and whatnot. Also, it's very funny seeing people get offended about some greenery on a piece of bread LMAO. People need to have some confidence in themselves and not get upset at such trivial things. I am French, you should see some of the terms people use to describe french foods, that aren't French at all... Yet it doesn't offend me, it's all just food. We should make it how we like it! Especially with non "formal" foods like this. There is no one true recipe, but everyone will argue til the ends of time about it anyways. Thank you for the recipes!

[@ArjanDuijs]

Cheers Charlie, that looks really delicious! do you have any tips on how to prepare/store larger batches? I would love to make a bunch of them at the same time and then take them out of the freezer when i want to eat them. should i store them after shaping and adding the cheesemix? or is it better to prebake them for a bit and finish the baking once i get them out to eat?

[@ChainBaker]

This is a tricky one! I tried a similar method with pizza dough by stretching and freezing a fully fermented dough and it did not work that well. The best option would be to freeze before final shaping. I made a video about freezing dough which is coming in January btw.

[@pippadawg7037]

You can use any cheese you like as long as it's not too wet 👍

My god great job, but 2 suggest from Qartveli ( Georgian): no herbs need and most importantly, you must mix egg and cheese with Doug from the bottom end sides of Khachapuri, until it's very hot (give it really good mixing).

[@ChainBaker]

John Dock awesome! Thank you :)

[@aspanger]

I have a problem, i ended up with a super sticky dough. I added everything like in recipe but my dough is nothing like yours. My flour has 12,5% of protein, should i look for a stronger flour? (which is hard in my country, this is the strongest flour i could find) Or should i add some more flour till it stops being sticky?

[@ChainBaker]

I use 13% protein flour. But protein percentage is not always an indicator. The dough was sticky for me too, but it should become less sticky as you knead it. You can try using 5g less water, to make it easier to work with.

[@lukassimak9151]

I have followed your recipe but for some reason the proportion of flour and water makes my dough so sticky, you should have seen my sticky chopping board ! I must be doing something wrong. Any idea ?

[@ChainBaker]

What kind of flour are you using? Is it strong bread flour? If you are using all purpose flour or plain flour then that may be the issue. This is a relatively low hydration dough so it should not be too sticky. If you ever feel that the dough is really difficult to work with and too sticky, then you can add some flour little by little as you are kneading until it becomes manageable. Hope that helps 🤞

[@lukassimak9151]

@@ChainBaker thx for the reply ! I realized I made a silly mistake when calculating measurements, instead of using weight ratio and I used volume in cups.
