Olive Oil Khachapuri

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
A Mediterranean wink at Caucasian cuisine. Replacing sunflower oil with Extra Virgin Olive Oil makes the dough fruitier, softer, and more elastic. Olive oil polyphenols add a unique aroma to the crust during baking, creating a texture that is both crisp and tender.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make dough (flour, water, yeast, salt), adding olive oil at the end of kneading. Knead until shiny and oil is absorbed.

Tip: Adding oil last ensures good gluten formation first.
2 ✓

Rise for 60 mins. Dough will feel silky.

3 ✓

Make cheese filling. Shape boats and fill.

4 ✓

Brush edges with egg mixed with a drop of olive oil. Bake at 430°F (220°C) for 15-20 mins.

Tip: Oil wash creates a crisper crust.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use vegetable oil?
Yes, but you lose the fruity olive character that defines this version.
Won't it burn?
The moisture in the dough protects the oil, and the short bake time prevents off-flavors.
