Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread) - Food Wishes 

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/272625/Khachapuri-Georgian-Cheese-Bread/

I'm glad you are including healthy recipes in your videos.

I must say that being both Georgian and chef John's long time fan this for sure has made my day.

Been watching you for a while. We Georgians get super excited when people appreciate our culinary or anything in general. Thank you.

The best part of Khachapuri is there are so many regional varieties. The recipe shown is Agarian in the west of Georgia, and there's so many versions

I'm Georgian and I could not have been happier. But there's one thing: we do not stuff the crust with cheese. It's crispy on the outside and fluffy inside bread and we dip it into cheese. Also it requires just the egg yolk not the whole egg. But omg, actually seeing this on this Chanel is freaking awesome! Love you Chef John

Chef John, I just wanted to say. I have been in the restaurant industry for some 30 years and I truly enjoy your videos and your format. You never show the traditional "chef ego" nor do you talk down to anyone. I cant thank you enough for being so encouraging and enjoyable to watch. Whenever I find someone that is learning how to cook, you are one of the chef's channels that I recommend. God Bless. PK

"unless it's really late and you just got back from the club" My life isn't that exciting but I'll still eat a whole one anyways.

Things i don't have. Yeast. Parchment paper. a Defibrillator.

I had never heard of this dish before watching your video Chef, but you’ve made it seem so appealing that I’m gonna have to make it this weekend. Thank you for continuing to broaden our culinary world.

im Georgian and I have been a huge fan of yours, so for this to have come on my timeline made my heart smile. You are the best, I’m glad you represented our country with such a delicious video 💘

One of my favorite recipes of yours (just finished eating it). Every one of your videos is a delight, and this one especially so! Thanks so much!

Dear John, thank you so much for all your videos but this one melted my heart as I am from Georgia.

Chef John, your demeanor & knowledge are a delight as always.

My water just mouthed 🤤

My sisters and I made this over the weekend and it was WONDERFUL! Thank you Chef John for the phenomenal recipe!

You have been guiding me through the very delicious journey with your recipes and videos and I'm so happy seeing my traditional food in your list.

This is my husband's favourite dish from my home country, but it is very hard to find the right kind of cheese in Canada. I will definitely try your recipe. I love your channel and this video made my day. It would be amazing to see Georgian dumpling Khinkali (ხინკალი) recipe someday, hopefully soon on your inspiring channel. Thanks!!!

One of the most entertaining narrators I've ever encountered on RU-vid. Not to even mention the great food ideas and recipes.

I love Georgia, been there twice, one of the best countries, best food, and very nice people 😍

Your videos are a perfect pick me up in the morning. No need for coffee. Thanks

I went to this country last december and it was so great and the most remarkable food was khachapuri, it tasted so dang good! like the cheese mixes well with the bread and the egg gives a rich flavor to it!

Went to Georgia a year and a half ago. Such a cool place, amazing food, wine, people, shisha. Highly recommend!

The way that you do the things that you do with food, well, few do. Thanks Chef John. Keep doing that thing that you do.

I have never heard of this before, but wow that looks so wonderful.

Finally, some recognition. 10/10 pronunciation by the way. Love it absolutely :) Gaumarjos saqartvelodan

I visited Batumi a couple years ago and made it my mission to have at least one and oh lord it was the best think I had ever eaten!

Really cool to watch them get made! We are in Georgia right now and just tried khatchapuri for the first time, it is amazing! Can't wait to try and make ourselves sometime.

"I mean it's almost too much. Actually, not almost, it is too much. This is probably enough for two people... Unless it's really late and you just got back from the club." HOW DO YOU KNOW MY LIFE?!?! I AM CACKLING!

Georgian cuisine one of the best in the world!!! My advice to all, read about Georgian cuisine and cook it!

I love you Chef John - listening to you calms me down and makes me feel fuzzy inside 🥰

Thank you Chef John! You are my number one! Cassoulet, Coq Au Vin, Khachapuri!!!!!!!, and just today for my parent's Sunday roast, paper wrapped pulled pork butt! Everything has come out...just delicious! Chef John, you're an absolute gem. Thank you!

This looks so delicious, after watching the video I literally went straight to the grocery store to pick up the cheese I needed. Just finished transcribing the process from your video into my recipe app and am minutes away from getting started!

"Way too much cheese" is not a thing, Chef John

I'm from Guatemala, live in California and this dish made my day. I ended up making three of these for myself and family

Wow! This looks so simple, and for that payoff when it's done, this cant miss!!!

For some reason I would never think that I would see a Georgian dish on this channel, so thank you for this. You got the general idea on point for the first try, for the future I would suggest a few things 1. It's made from really simple cheeses; I don't think you would have a problem doing it from scratch. Mix of "Imeruli" and "Sulguni(is made from Imeruli)" 2. Baked dough tastes better when it's crusty from the outside, difference in textures is yummy. 3. The bottom part should be left for last, you eat the sides first by ripping off bit by bit. 4. I noticed that you had some moisture left on the bottom when you picked up the Khachapuri, the bottom part shouldn't be soggy and should be crunchy as well(use pizza stone and high temperature, small chars are good too) 5. The inside should be a bit wider, with more sauce! :D 6. Lately in Georgia people prefer to take out the dough from underneath the walls right before it's done so you are left with just crunchy sidewalls, thus a lot less stress on the stomach :D 7. And personally I put 1 whole egg and 1 extra yolk(second white makes sauce really runny). 8. No need to cook the whites completely, you're left with white pieces, which don't feel right in the sauce so take the Khachapuri out right before they turn white in colour and they will finish cooking when you mix the sauce(like carbonara) I wish you the best times with Adjarian Khachapuri!!! Definitely consider visiting Georgia, I'm 100% sure you'll enjoy our unique cuisine(most of the dishes are stupidly simple and still strangely really amazing), and everything else that goes with it

After all you are the man with the street cred after making your Georgian cheese bread

While in Moscow visiting friends, we went to a Georgian restaurant - it was amazing!!! We also found a burger stand serving Georgian style burgers, we still talk about all the Georgian food we had two summers ago! I really want to go to Georgia 🇬🇪 now!

I tried authentic khatchapuri in the middle of Georgia. Amazing!!! Loved it. So happy I have an official recipe for it from Chef John. 🥳

OMG this is something i thought i'd never see you do!!! i had it in russia several years ago and its truly unforgettable. ive seen other versions but the georgian one is the best. one of my all time favs, thank you chef john :-)

I love how out of no where everyone and their mom is all of the sudden Georgian 🤣🤣

I just love the way you use a standard plate to cover things to prove instead of plastic wrap. Economical and re-usable. 👍👏

We went to Georgia in 2017 and loved eating Khachapuri there. I just made this recipe today in Tennessee! Sooooo yummy. Thanks!!!

Alas, another beautiful food that I cannot have because I am a low carb dieter. this made me miss my German Russian Grandmother so much I started crying again, twenty years after she's gone. thank you so much chef John, I love you.

made this during quarantine and now my gf is convinced i was a former chef HAHAHAHAHA

I had a very difficult time finding a bread base that tasted good. Living in Turkey and coming back to the states, you really miss that flavor. I decided to give this a go and it exceeded far beyond my expectations. Thank you so much Chef John. Xoxox

Now I seriously have Georgia on my mind. As well as cheese and egg and delish looking bread. Thanks Chef John.

You should definitely try Khinkali, the king of Georgian cuisine.

A heart attack has never tasted this good.

Thank you. Easy to learn, easy to make, cheap and delicious.

I'm not sure I follow a more interesting cooking channel on YT. I love Chef John, I bet this dude is a wonderful person in day to day life.

that dough's lookin' a little Georgia O'Keeffe-ish, Chef.

My mind was 100% in the gutter when i clicked on this lol

Man, watching your videos always makes me so happy

How delectable this looks! Your voice is so melodic. The sing song style - the cadences. Very soothing.

"unless it's really late and you just got back from the club then ones probably fine" lol I was not expecting that 😂

georgian (and caucasus) food is one of the best in the world! and still so underrated

I'm on a total food wishes binge watch as I let my dinner cook... keep at it Chef John!

I'm glad he clarified it's the country and not the state, I genuinely wondered and many channels just expect you to guess.

I'm lactose intolerant and I got nauseous just watching this. I have to try it.

That looks amazing....Think of all the different things you could do with that.

As your big fan and Georgian I'm so happy and proud to see the post😍❤️❤️ love it!

Thank you. My Georgian friend told me that i make better kachapuri than his aunt. It is quite an honor that i shall learn how to cook and learned how to cook from quite a pleasant a wholesome channel!

This is the sort of thing that I imagine will be served in heaven.

wow, that looks like such comfort food. yum.

I’m making this ASAP! Looks so comforting and delicious 😋

Хачапури отличные! Your khachapury are perfect!

To be precise, this is Adjaruli Khachapuri which belongs to a Adjara region, south-west of Georgia, close to Turkey. They have another one called Imeruli Khachapuri, which belongs to Imereti region, west of Georgia, also very good, probably even more balanced on ingredients and even-baked-ness! But the king of them all, is Kubdari, which belongs to northern part of Georgia, Svaneti region. I think the real recipe is kept as a secret there, because Kubdari made in other parts of Georgia tastes terrible! Check that out if you visit Svaneti region.

😂🤣😂 I always sing the end of all his videos 😂🤣😂 🎶And as Alwayyysss Enjoy 🎶

Sir ! I just love your sense of humour and your zeal.

Hello, Chef John! Your channel is the best and your vibe is my favorite

Dude, the intonation in this guy's voice is driving me crazy

If I put a runny egg in the middle, my wife won't want it. Win Win.(for me)

Oh that looks wonderful, totally awesome.

This thing is super amazing. So freaking good! Thanks for the recipe!!

Why do I love the way this guy talks so much. I literally click just to hear his weird inflection instead of the food lmao

"You are after all the Steph Curry of your Khachapuri" I never knew I needed to hear that until now

A half of one off those with a gorgeous green salad. Heaven.

This is like everything I love in one, handy presentation.

This looks way too delicious! :o I wonder if it would be a bad idea to add some form of herb to the cheese mix, or possibly even some crushed garlic...

More like Snatchapuri am i right?? I'm going dont worry

I've made this several times. It is as glorious as one would imagine.

I had the pleasure of eating this dish in a Georgian restaurant in Dublin. 100% delicious!!!! I will try to make it at home! Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe!!!!

My oven's on fire, My spoon's like a wheel that's turnin', My yeast is alive!

NIce bread recipe my friend ! ! ! ! I love it so much ! ! ! Thanks a lot for this great idea and interesting recipe ! ! ! Thanks a lot and hello from FRANCE 😍🌟🍚🍄🍊🍓🍎💖🍭💛

Thank you for this visually pleasing and delicious recipe. My son wants it every day!

Thank you for this recipe. I have been looking for this.

I never knew cholestrol could look so beautiful

I love khachapuri thanks for this might try please More georgian food have You tried anything with walnuts pomegranate and other things?

I have wondered for years what I ate as a child a friend's house...it was this!! Finally I know!

I am a long time fan of your channel and I just made your NY style cheesecake, topped with cherry pie filling. It was delicious and no grand canyon cracks!

Thanks for making a recipe about Caucasian food, hope you will make some Armenian dishes as well. And I still don't get it, why Hachapuri still not popular in US, cause we all know that Americans love bread and cheese.

I tried pulling flour out of a dough once. That house will never be the same...

I shared this video with my brothers last week...thinking I would inspire them to make it. Instead, my brother Mark discovered Skalka Cafe in Seattle (it's on the corner of Western Ave and Spring St.), and they specialize in these! I got to eat one on Sunday, and I have to say, these are an absolutely incredible breakfast! (and lunch, and dinner...seriously, one of these and you won't be hungry the rest of the day!) Skalka had "Doubles" available, one side had the egg...the other had either beans with bacon or beef stroganoff. Both were delicious! I know it's pretty authentic too...a guy named "Vladimir" came in to pick up an order wearing an Adidas track suit!

Thanks for sharing one of the delicious Georgian dishes recipes. Georgian cuisine is truly rich. It can satisfy all the people with any dietary preference or restriction: keto, paleo, vegan, gluten and lactose intolerance, you can find tasty food for everybody. There are many healthy and ancient recipes too :) Your version of this recipe is very healful for Georgian emigrants too. (Substituting Georgian cheese is really difficult).

Adjarian style Khachapuri are probably the best one you can have.

I feel like basil, andouille sausage and some slices of cheery tomato's would make this into an awesome appetiser

These look so, so, so good.

Finally, today we came arround to trying this ... through we had to swap out a few things for similar ingredients, I think we nailed it, because it was ridiciously cheesy and rediciously tasty! Great recipe!
