Adjarian khachapuri is one of the most satisfying and delicious dishes of Georgian cuisine. The name "khachapuri" consists of two words: "khacho" - cheese, "puri" - bread. This dish is a large boat-shaped flatbread made of soft airy dough, which is complemented by a filling of several types of cheese.
