Cheese and Egg Bread (Acharuli Khachapuri)

Filled with melted cheese and topped with a runny egg, this flatbread is best eaten hot--tear off the crust and dunk it in the well of cheese and egg. Landon Nordeman

Yield: serves 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 tsp. active dry yeast
• ¹⁄₄ tsp. sugar
• 1 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for greasing
• 1 ¹⁄₄ cups flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 ¹⁄₄ cups shredded Muenster cheese (14 oz.)
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (6 oz.)
• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

1. Combine yeast, sugar, and ²⁄₃ cup water heated to 115° in a bowl; let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add oil, flour, and salt; mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. 
2.  Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap; set in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
3. Place a pizza stone on a rack in lower third of oven. Heat oven to 500° for 1 hour. 
4. Combine cheeses in a bowl; set aside. Punch down dough and divide in half. On a piece of lightly floured parchment paper, roll half of dough into a 10" circle about ¹⁄₈" thick. Spread a quarter of the cheese mixture over dough, leaving a ¹⁄₂" border. On one side of the circle, tightly roll dough about a third of the way toward the center. Repeat on the opposite end. There should be a 2"-3" space between the two rolls. Pinch the open ends of the rolls together and twist to seal, making a boat shape; place another quarter of the cheese mixture in the middle; repeat with remaining dough and cheese. 
5. Transfer boats on paper to stone; bake until golden brown, 14–16 minutes. Crack 1 egg into the center of each boat. Return to oven until egg white is slightly set, 3–4 minutes. Place 2 tbsp. butter on each bread; serve hot.
