Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough into a large oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the grated cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Add the diced tomatoes and chopped herbs on top.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a pocket.
- Place the khachapuri on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Before serving, place a slice of butter on top and cook under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until melted.
- Sprinkle with paprika for extra flavor if desired.
