Step 1

- In a bowl mix the water, sugar and yeast.

Step 2

- Add the flour, salt and oil. Start to mix until all the ingredients are incorporated in the dough, then move to knead on a working surface.

Step 3

- Knead the dough for 6-8 min, until it gets smooth, elastic and beautiful.

Step 4

- Round the dough and place it in a greased bowl until it double in size.

Step 5

- Punch the dough and divide it into two pieces.

Step 6

- Each piece round to a ball and let them rest for about 10-15 min.

Step 7

- Prepare the filling by mixing all the cheeses together with the flour and the egg.

Step 8

- Preheat the oven to 450F or 230C.

Step 9

- Using a rolling pin- open each ball to a 1/2 cm thickness rectangle shape.

Step 10

- Roll the longer part of the rectangle dough towards the center, leaving about 5-6 cm space in between them (to fill in the cheese filling).

Step 11

- Close the edges of the rolled part to create a boat shape.

Step 12

- Fill the center with the cheese filling, spread it evenly. Use half the amount of the filling for each piece of dough. Not less, not more.

Step 13

- Bake for 12-14 min- until all the cheese melted and the edges start to get some color.

Step 14

- Take out the oven, using a spoon- make a hole in each Khachapuri for the egg yolk.

Step 15

- Fill the hole with an egg yolk and keep baking for additional 2 min (we want the egg yolk to be a bit runny still).

Step 16

- Take out from the oven. Place a nice chunk of butter to melt in the Khachapuri and brush the crust with melted butter.

Step 17

- Eat while it's still hot, take a piece of the crust and dip it in the cheese and the egg yolk.

Step 18

- YASSS.
