Preparation Time:

Cooking Time:

Difficulty Level:
3 (Moderate)
Preparation Method Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
- Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover it with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a 6-inch circle.
- Place the dough circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges with melted butter.
- In the center of each dough circle, make a well by pressing down with your fingers. Crack an egg into each well.
- Top each khachapuri with mozzarella cheese and dot with salted butter and garlic.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges are golden brown.
