Speaker A

Dear friends, I welcome you all. Today, I want to make a type of khachapuri that I haven't featured on my channel yet. It’s called Lazuri. It’s very delicious. It's prepared easily and simply, and most importantly, it's tasty. Let's begin. First, we will, of course, prepare the dough. What will we need? Half a kilogram of flour, warm milk, regular store-bought milk. We warmed it up so that it would be warm.

Speaker A

We add one teaspoon of sugar here. We add 7 grams of yeast on top. An incomplete tablespoon. We mix this.

Speaker A

This needs to be prepared first because we'll let it sit for a bit so it dissolves completely in the milk, and then we will add it to the flour.

Speaker A

Now let it sit for 5 minutes. Now we add salt here. One teaspoon, but add it to your own taste. If you make it this way, I hope you will really like the taste as well. One egg. Well, friends,

Speaker A

our yeast has activated. The milk, just so I don't forget to tell you, is 250 grams. We pour it in. And we'll add a little vegetable oil, 20 grams maximum.

Speaker A

Uh-huh. And we knead a soft dough. Let's go. Well, we've kneaded it. Here is what we got. Now we take it. I’m adding 40 grams of butter on top. The dough will turn out much tenderer. And now we begin to knead it in well like

Speaker A

this. Kneading it like this. Can you imagine what kind of khachapuri your family will have now, my dears? Everyone will be satisfied, especially you, when you prepare this. You can be very sure, I tell you, my dears, be

Speaker A

confident, I guarantee you will be delighted. At least this is what one says. I praise it, and not for nothing.

Speaker A

I know what I’m saying. Don't even worry, go ahead and prepare it if you want to eat something delicious.

Speaker A

Khachapuri Lazuri. That's it, now we move it to the table and start kneading on the table. We sprinkle flour on the table. The flour, so you know, friends, was top quality and sifted. Now we will knead the dough for at least 10 minutes

Speaker A

because the dough needs to rest well afterward. Now we pour a little vegetable oil into the bowl. See how smooth it turned out. Now we take it and rotate it. We’ll soften it a bit more on top, let it get very soft so

Speaker A

our Lazuri khachapuri will be very tender. Yeah. Excellent. Just a little bit. We cover it on top with a cloth like this, with a towel. And let the dough rest quietly for 1 hour. And in that time, we will move on to the

Speaker A

cheese. We will grate some good, tasty cheese. That’s it, we won’t waste time; we’ll prepare everything, the dough will rest, and we’ll start assembling. Friends, so, I have 600 grams of Sulguni cheese and 600 grams of Imeretian cheese. Very fatty cheese.

Speaker A

Both are also fatty cheeses. If your cheeses aren't fatty enough, add a little butter to your taste and the khachapuri will turn out very delicious. So, we'll grate it on a coarse grater. In total, about 1.2 kg of cheese. We

Speaker A

need to make two pieces of "lazuri". Two tasty flatbreads will turn out. And if you don't have Sulguni or Imeretian cheese, don't worry. Then you can use mozzarella, Adyghe, or feta cheese. It will taste very good, you know, just as

Speaker A

good. So go ahead and cook. The most important thing is to cook. Now we take the cheese, put it inside, and crack one egg. What kind of eggs are these?

Speaker A

Here are your eggs. Hard to break eggs. And now we take it. Good. Like this.

Speaker A

Yeah. We start. You could say massaging the cheese completely like this. Check the cheese for salt so it’s not too salty, adjust to your taste. Everything is mixed well, friends. And now we wait for our dough to rise. The dough has

Speaker A

risen. Now we take some flour. We sprinkle it on the table so the dough doesn't stick to it. And we divide it in half. Uh-huh. Excellent. Now we take it and make balls. Like this. We put it. Like this, the second one too, for 15

Speaker A

minutes. Let it rest now and then we will continue. Nothing left to do. That’s it, then we will assemble and bake them. Now we take it and start rolling it out. We shouldn't roll it out too thin. When there's cheese

Speaker A

inside, if the dough is too thin, it won't be as tasty. I'll show you the medium thickness needed. Well, that's it, friends, this thickness is enough.

Speaker A

This thickness right here. Yeah. Now I'll show you. Here. There you go, my friends, this thickness is perfect for these khachapuri. Now we transfer it to the tray. In general, friends, the amount of cheese should equal the weight of the dough. So you know, this

Speaker A

makes for perfect khachapuri. We take the cheese and divide it in half. Like this. And we take a little bit and place it along the edge like this. We will distribute it around the circle like this. Leave a little gap, because

Speaker A

we need to close it from the top. Well, we’ll do everything perfectly now, so our khachapuri will be fantastic, bombastic, just the way we like them.

Speaker A

These are the kinds of khachapuri we need to prepare. You can even add a little more cheese, friends, if you want them to be even tastier. But if, for example, my dough weighs 450g, and you add 450g of cheese to one

Speaker A

khachapuri, it will also be good and authentic. But if you want it to be tasty, I repeat, add a little more cheese and it will be much better.

Speaker A

I’m adding a little extra cheese. You know, if you're going to shoot, shoot, and if you're going to party, party.

Speaker A

And if you're going to eat, you should eat in a way that you won't regret it later, like skimping on the cheese. If you're buying cheese, buy a little bit more. Then you'll have a delicious meal. Yes, you see, we’ve distributed the

Speaker A

cheese in a circle, and now we take it and wrap it up like this. Just like this. Then, snap, and press it down.

Speaker A

Let's go. Uh-huh. Excellent. Make sure the dough doesn't open up while it's cooking in the oven. Like this. That's it. Everything is perfect. Now we take it and spread it out just a little bit.

Speaker A

Perfect. And now, most importantly, we sprinkle some cheese on top. Don't sprinkle too much cheese on top, because when it melts in the oven, you don't want it to spill onto the baking sheet. Everything must be done in

Speaker A

moderation; these khachapuri were invented by the Laz people. I have many Laz friends, I have Leri in Gonio. If Leri is watching, Leri Dzangauas, brother. So, these were invented by the Laz. Just like Imeretian khachapuri, there are Svan khachapuri, there are

Speaker A

Kubdari, there are Svan and Imeretian khachapuri. So, the Laz invented these? Very delicious khachapuri. Where there are gaps left, we fill them in. We take it like this and even it out. And now we brush it with egg, friends. We

Speaker A

cracked a regular egg and are brushing the sides. And make sure to brush the sides well too. And our khachapuri is ready. All that's left is to put it in the oven. The oven, of course, was preheated to 220 °C about 10 minutes

Speaker A

ago, so it's well heated. So, I'm putting it in my oven. I don't know how long it will take to cook. I think in my oven it’ll be 15 minutes max, but keep an eye on your oven. So, we put it

Speaker A

in and move on to the second one. By the time this one is done, the second one will be ready. Aha. And the second one is ready too. So, friends, it took exactly 20 minutes for one khachapuri in my oven. I was off by 5 minutes. I

Speaker A

had said 15 minutes. Well, 20 minutes and it's ready. Now for this one that has cooled down a little. Let's cut it now. It's still hot anyway. Uh-huh. So hot. I must tell you, this turned out to be an ideal creation. Look at the

Speaker A

layers. Look. Everything turned out perfectly, my dears. I recommend you make it. It turned out very delicious.

Speaker A

And besides these khachapuri, I have prepared many other khachapuri on the channel. To my new subscribers and new viewers, friends, come check it out. I make many types of khachapuri and many other delicious dishes. So, get cooking. It turned out perfectly. Everything

Speaker A

is just right. Wow. My advice. Go ahead and cook it confidently. There, share with your friends and subscribe to the channel. I'll show you many more delicious things. And, with God's help.

Speaker A
