Yeast-Free Cheese Khachapuri in a Skillet

A wonderful breakfast — so quick and tasty you'll love it on the first bite! I'm personally crazy about yeast-free cheese khachapuri cooked right in a skillet. This is the fastest recipe I know for them, and you'd never guess they weren't the real deal — puffy, soft, and cheesy. They work as a side for soup or as a dish all on their own.

    Measure out about 2.5 cups of the flour and add the baking soda to it, keeping the rest of the flour aside for dusting the counter.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Sift the flour and baking soda together into a separate bowl.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Add the sifted flour to the liquid mixture a portion at a time, stirring as you go.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    You want a sticky, soft dough that holds its shape without spreading. Don't overdo the flour, or the finished khachapuri will come out tough.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    For the filling, grate the cheese.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Crack the second egg into the cheese.

  14. Step 14:

  15. Step 15:

    Dust the counter well with flour and turn out the dough. Roll it into a log, then divide it into 9 equal pieces.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Roll each piece out thin.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17

    Spread a little filling over it.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18

    Gather the edges toward the center in accordion-like folds and pinch them shut.

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19

    Flatten the resulting bundle.

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20

    Roll it out with a rolling pin, then flip it and roll the other side; flip it one last time and roll a bit more. The khachapuri should come out about the diameter of your skillet.

  21. Step 21:

    Step 21

    Transfer it to a dry skillet.

  22. Step 22:

    Step 22

    Cook in the dry skillet, covered, over low heat until golden.

  23. Step 23:

    Step 23

    Flip it and cook the other side, covered as well.

  24. Step 24:

    Step 24

    Brush the finished khachapuri with butter.

  25. Step 25:

    Step 25

    Enjoy!

  • Be ready to use more or less flour than the recipe calls for. Go by the consistency of the dough rather than the exact amount of flour. To avoid slip-ups, it helps to know a bit about flour and how it behaves.
  • Wondering whether you can swap baking powder for baking soda, how to add each so your bake comes out fluffy, and how to avoid that unpleasant soda aftertaste? It's worth reading up on the difference between baking powder and baking soda.
  • Important! The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. A good skillet that heats evenly makes all the difference here.
