Olive Oil Khachapuri

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
This recipe is a Mediterranean nod in Caucasian cuisine. Extra virgin olive oil used instead of sunflower oil not only makes the dough taste fruitier, but also renders its structure softer and more elastic. The olive oil polyphenols give a unique aroma to the crust during baking, making it crispier yet more tender.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the dough from flour, water, yeast and salt, but add the olive oil at the end of kneading. Knead until it fully absorbs the oil and becomes shiny.

Tip: Add the oil at the end, because if you put it in at the start, it coats the flour particles and inhibits gluten network formation.
2 ✓

Prove the dough for 60 minutes. You will feel it is more fragrant and silky to the touch from the olive oil.

3 ✓

Prepare the filling from the cheeses. Shape the dough boats, fill them.

4 ✓

Before baking, brush the dough edge with egg mixed with a little olive oil for extra shine. Bake at 220°C for 15-20 minutes.

Tip: Oily glazing results in a crispier crust.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use plain vegetable oil?
Yes, but then the point of the dish (the distinctive olive taste) is lost.
Does olive oil not burn in the oven?
Water in the dough protects the oil from overheating, and on the crust flavour is not damaged due to quick baking.
