Zubereitung von Georgian Cheese Bread
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the cheese filling: In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces Havarti cheese (shredded), 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese (shredded), 1 large egg, and ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough circles to the prepared baking sheet. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over each circle, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic crust. Brush the tops of the breads with beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
