Khachapuri, Georgia's beloved cheese bread, has countless regional variations. The boat-shaped Adjarian style, from the Black Sea coast, is famous for its central well topped with raw egg yolk and butter, stirred into the molten cheese just before eating and scooped up with torn pieces of bread.
Mix bread flour, dry yeast, warm water, and salt into a dough; knead until smooth.
Let the dough rise for about an hour, until doubled in size.
Divide into 4 portions and shape each into a boat with raised edges.
Fill with chopped cheese and bake at 230°C (450°F) for about 15 minutes.
Remove, crack an egg into the center, and bake another 3–5 minutes until the egg is just set.
Top with butter while hot, stirring it in as it melts, to finish.
