- 8 grams salt

Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Step 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round or oval shape.
Step 7
In a bowl, mix the feta and mozzarella cheese together. Place half of the cheese mixture in the center of each dough round.
Step 8
Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, leaving a space in the center. Twist the edges to seal them.
Step 9
Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the edges with melted butter.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the bread is golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and make a small well in the center of each bread. Add an egg yolk into each well.
Step 12
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the egg yolk is set.
Step 13
Serve your Khachapuri hot and enjoy!
