Recreate khachapuri recipe from Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Prepare to indulge

The menus at one of the top restaurants in Italy, Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura, are inspired by travels, people and experiences. Karime López, a three-Michelin starred chef, who runs the kitchen at the Florence restaurant has shared her coveted recipe to make the egg, cheese and bread dish – khachapuri.

“I was inspired by the international dishes we have on the Gucci Osteria menu, to create something different but easy, this recipe is delicious comfort food and very simple to make, with a yummy warm baking smell when it comes out of the oven,” she says

Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread. The bread is leavened and allowed to rise and is shaped in various ways (here the chef does it in a boat shape), usually with cheese in the middle and a crust which is ripped off and used to dip in the cheese. The filling contains cheese, eggs and whatever ingredient you love or have in stock.

Ingredients

  • 300g flour
  • 2g of salt
  • 2g of sugar
  • 4g dry yeast
  • 80ml warm milk
  • 100ml warm water
  • 300g grated cheese (feta, mozzarella and parmigiano) you can use any cheese, I used this because it was what I have on the fridge.
  • 20 ml milk
  • 3 eggs

Method

Put together the milk, and water add the yeast mix a little bit, add the sugar, on other bowl mix the flour with salt, mix all together until you have an even dough. Cover and let it rest for two hours.

For the filling: Grate the cheese and mix it with 100 ml of milk and one egg. You can add a dash of pepper too.

Take the dough, spreading it into a circle about 9 inches in diameter. Then roll 2 opposite sides of the circle towards the centre so it ends up have a boat-like shape. Then pinch the corners together, cover and let rest for one hour.

Fill the kachapuri with the cheese mix. Put in the oven and bake at 180° C

When the kachapuri has a golden colour (after about 15 mins) take it out of the oven and put the egg in the middle, put back in the oven until the egg is cooked (after 5-6 mins) and is ready serve.
