Georgian Cheese Bread
Baking from a May 2008 Gourmet magazine recipe:

More pictures and recipe here.

And yes, it's SO delicious! If you have a biological cheese quota like I do, you'll love it! :-) It's made with havarti and mozzarella cheese, and the dough has a nice consistency.

Happy Friday everyone!

	Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy ... this looks like caloric heaven. I'd so want to sink my teeth in that. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sort of, really, just part 'sandwiched' in the dough and part exposed. Hehe. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Oh, you need a much saltier cheese. Try soluguni or imeruli, if you can find them. If not, brinza . . . maybe halloumi. You can pair the salty cheese with a mild one. Edited at 2008-05-16 01:38 pm UTC (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Re: khatchapuri freevolous 2008-05-16 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I read, that originally that was the cheese used. The saltiness of the havarti and mozza was just enough for me, though. I'll have to look for those three you suggested, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: khatchapuri krasota 2008-05-16 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	Soluguni is often found in cheese islands at regular supermarkets. It's called armenian string cheese and is often braided, with nigella seeds. Sure, fresh would be better, but that's what I used. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thanks for that info! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	buboniclou 2008-05-16 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh man I had one like that at an Armenian restaurant long long ago...sooo good. I think they used something like halloumi as krasota said though. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	What's a biological cheese quota? Minimum daily requirement, or an upper limit? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	into_the_sun 2008-05-16 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Minimum daily requirement for me. MMMM, cheeeeese. (Reply to this)(Parent)
