    Georgian Khachapuri is a delicious cheese bread loved all over the country.  It is usually made in three different styles.  This recipe is for the most common one which is a circular bread with the cheese in the middle called Imeruli.  This is from Imereti the other two types are called Ajaruli and Megruli.  The dough for this recipe could be used to make all three types however today we will make Imeretian Khachapuri. The recipe calls for a combination of two types of cheese Imeretian cheese and sulguni.  If you can not find these specialty cheeses from Georgia, you can substitute mozzarella with feta.  Enjoy with a salad and a nice glass of Georgian wine or serve as part of the Supra, ( A Georgian feast).
