Ingredients

Bread dough:

  • ½ cup warm milk
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 and ½ cups 00 flour or bread flour
  • 1 egg lightly whisked
  • Extra flour to knead dough
  • Salt to taste

Filling:

  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese or smooth ricotta
  • 2 cups crumbled feta
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves

Toppings:

  • 2 eggs
  • Butter cubed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Place warm milk, warm water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for about 5 minutes or until creamy foam appears. Add olive oil and flour. Season with salt. Mix to form very sticky dough.
  • Transfer to a floured surface. Sprinkle with more flour. Knead for about 3 minutes, adding more flour as needed, to form very soft dough. Place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 and ½ hours or until doubled in size.

  • Preheat oven to 250 C or 475 F.
  • Combine together mozzarella, Monterey Jack or ricotta, feta and parsley in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until needed.

  • Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface. Cut in half. Dust a large sheet of baking paper with flour. Place one half of the dough on it and roll out into a square, about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. Stretch out the corners as needed.
  • Arrange 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture along the two opposite sides of the rolled out dough, two inches away from the sides. Roll sides up tightly over the cheese mixture to form a boat shape. Pinch and twist the ends to seal.
  • Cut off excess baking paper around the dough. Place on a baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and place on the baking tray. Fill the kachapuris with cheese mixture. Brush bread with lightly whisked egg.
  • Transfer to oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Using a spoon, push down and form a well in the center of each kachapuri. Crack eggs into the wells.
  • Return to oven and bake until the eggs are set or cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Top with butter and garnish with parsley.
  • Tear the bread from the sides, dip in the egg cheese mixture and eat.
