• 2 g of sugar
• 4 g dry yeast
• 80 ml warm milk
• 100 ml warm water
• 300 g grated cheese (feta, mozzarella and parmigiano) you can use any cheese, I used this because it was what I have on the fridge.
• 20 ml milk

Method:
Put together the milk, and water add the yeast mix a little bit, add the sugar, on other bowl mix the flour with salt, mix all together until you have an even dough, let rest for 2 hours.
Grate the cheese and mix it with 100 ml of milk and one egg.
Take the dough, spreading it into a circle about 9 inches in diameter. Then roll 2 opposite sides of the circle towards the center so it ends up have a boat like shape. Then pinch the corners together, cover and let rest for 1 hour.
Fill the kachapuri with the cheese mix.

When the kachapuri has a golden color (after about 15 mins) take it out of the oven and put the egg in the middle, put back in the oven until the egg is cooked (after 5-6 mins) and is ready to serve.
