Dough for khachapuri
Description
This recipe won't take much time. I've been searching for this exact khachapuri dough recipe for a long time. Here's the story: about a year ago, a small Georgian bakery opened near my home, where they basically make nothing but khachapuri. But the khachapuri they make is so incredibly delicious that I simply don't have words to describe it. They bring in authentic cheese from Georgia, and if you'd like, you can even buy some directly at the bakery. That's exactly what I did. I searched for khachapuri dough recipes online, but no matter what I tried, it never tasted as good as the one from the bakery. Eventually, I spent an entire month pestering their head baker, a young guy named Levan, until he finally gave in and shared the khachapuri dough recipe with me :) And now, I'm sharing it with you. Trust me, this version of the dough is absolutely the best.
