Adjaruli Khachapuri with Baked Quark Cheese and Herbed Butter

Method

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 20 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix quark cheese with sour cream, dill, parsley, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
3. Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Place the cheese mixture in the center, then fold the edges up to create a pocket, sealing the seams with a bit of water.
4. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the khachapuri on a baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix 50g butter with the remaining herbs and garlic powder. Spread this herbed butter over the top of the khachapuri.
5. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the dough is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
6. Serve warm with a sprinkle of additional herbs on top.
