We invite you to a Georgian cuisine masterclass, where together we will get acquainted with one of its best-known and most beloved dishes - khachapuri. During the masterclass, we will make three different kinds of khachapuri, discovering how versatile this simple but very characteristic Georgian dish can be. We will prepare Imeretian khachapuri, Adjarian khachapuri, and a third, more filling version with meat, paying attention to the dough, the filling, and the proper preparation technique for each one.
Step by step, we will explore the nuances of making khachapuri dough - how to achieve a dough that is elastic and easy to shape, how to roll it out and fill it properly so that the cheese and other ingredients are evenly distributed and the khachapuri keeps its shape while baking. We will also pay attention to baking temperature and time, because it is the heat that gives khachapuri its distinctive golden crust, juicy filling, and such an irresistible aroma.
We will get to know Imeretian khachapuri in its classic round form with a rich cheese filling, while Adjarian khachapuri will be made in the shape of a boat, allowing you to enjoy its special filling and serving style. The third version of the masterclass will be with meat - a hearty and distinctive khachapuri that will let you see this Georgian classic from yet another angle.
This masterclass will also be about the culture of enjoyment itself. You will be able to taste all the khachapuri made on site, freshly baked and still warm, so you can best appreciate their texture, aroma, and flavor, or take them home. This will be especially important for Adjarian khachapuri, which is best enjoyed immediately after coming out of the oven, while the cheese is warm and the dough is soft and crisp.
During the masterclass, we will not only learn three different kinds of khachapuri, but also understand the key principles that you can then use in your own kitchen. It will be a practical, hearty, and very tasty introduction to Georgian cuisine, where simple ingredients are turned into a dish made for sharing, conversation, and enjoying together.
