Khachapuri on kefir - tricks and useful tips
- To properly eat ajar-style khachapuri is a real science. It is necessary to break off a piece of the "side", mix the stuffing with them. Then type on the slice the contents of the "boat" and eat.
- Traditionally, the number of fillings of the dough should be equal. However, you can take a little more cheese: so khachapuri on kefir will be even tastier. But less than the filling should not be. Flapjacks are heavy, tasteless.
- Lubricating the cakes with butter is necessary in order to increase the fat content and improve the taste. Traditional Georgian cheese Suluguni is low-fat, so the butter does not hurt. If fatty cheese is used for the filling, then butter is not necessary.
- Khachapuri is served fiery, from a frying pan or from the oven. And rightly so: melted cheese is very tasty. However, the cooled cakes are remarkably good. Their taste is changing.
- If the filling and dough remain, they can be frozen and used another time.
