Three-Scuttle Bread Boat

There's nothing quite as indulgent as the scuttle bread boat, also known by the Telvanni as khachapuri. The traditional use of three types of scuttle, said to represent the Tribunal, is almost obscene for the average working Dunmer, making khachapuri a treat rather than an everyday meal. Topped with a cliff racer or kwama egg, this mouthwatering bread boat is best served immediately! Serves four.

You will need:

Bread:

1 tsp dry yeast

270g plain flour

55ml water

200ml milk

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Filling:

2 eggs (one whisked, for brushing)

80g mature cheddar, grated

80g fresh mozzarella, chopped

80g feta, crumbled

1 tbsp butter

Crushed dried chilis or chili powder to serve, optional (and non-traditional)

Method:

Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and flour. In a pan, bring the milk and water to a gentle simmer (you should be able to touch the water without burning yourself, about 25C/77F) and pour into the dry ingredients. Knead until smooth and stretchy, at least 15 minutes.

Add the olive oil to your dough, and knead for another 3-5 minutes so it sinks in. Pop the dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and leave to rise in a warm spot (out of direct sunlight) for an hour.

When the dough is about double in size, punch it down, then leave it to rise again for another 30 mins. When ready, shape the dough into a large oval, then roll flat until about 1/2cm thick.

For the filling, simply combine the cheeses and sprinkle into the boat. Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese in a thick, neat line on the left side of the dough, and another 1/3 on the right. Take the edge of the dough and roll it over the cheese, then roll the outside diameter inwards gently a couple of times to form a raised lip. Sprinkle the rest of the filling in the middle.

This will therefore be a stuffed crust to start, as well as a method of keeping the outer edges raised! Finally, pinch or twist the ends together to a sharp point. This will help to contain the filling when it melts. Whisk one egg and brush over the entire bread, filling and all, until glossy.

Bring your oven to 230C/450F and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes, until the bread is firm and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, and make a deep well in the middle of the cheese by pressing down with a tablespoon. Scatter butter over the cheese. Crack the last egg into the well and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the egg white is slightly cooked but still runny.

To serve, vigorously whisk together the cheese and egg with a fork until entirely combined (the egg will continue to cook in the hot cheese). Simply tear the bread apart with your hands to eat and dip. Sprinkle with dried chilis or chili powder if desired.

This is what your khachapuri should look like after scrambling the filling!

Hello Snufkin! I was wondering— In your travels down south, what was your favorite experience or place while traveling there? Also, how far south have you gotten to so far? I myself live with my family in the tropics, but we’ve traveled outside of our country a few times thanks to my father’s occupation! We experienced snow for the first time when we visited a country further north half a year ago. The flora there were intruiging and new for me personally! And my father did scold me for snagging a few rosehips and pinecones during our visit in a very old church there hehe. The food was also quite scrumptious! I especially miss the khachapuri (cheese-filled bread).

I also got lost in the city once after my parents said something quite upsetting, but i did find them again eventually! (That was quite an adventure too if i do say so myself)

Personally, i dislike it a bit how we’re often in a rush when visiting new places— trying to go to one tourist stop to another as soon as possible… oh and the one too many pictures 😭😭😭 i understand that they want to experience as many things as possible and also keep some memories, but it can be quite overwhelming and it makes it difficult to absorb my surroundings and be in the moment 😔 i feel like i sometimes cant help but feel a bit performative i guess? And by that i mean like… acting like im enjoying something when im not because i cant fully.

Anyways aahh enough of my rambling! I’m curious to about what you might share! And I hope you didn’t mind that i shared a bit of my experience while i traveled somewhere as well hahaha. I couldn’t help myself! I hope that you’re having a delightful time there in moominvalley with your friends and the moomins!

Well, it sure sounds like you had yourself one full adventure, doesn't it? It's great to get up and travels sometimes, but I get when it gets overwhelming when people try to do the most and make memories. My friends here in Moominvalley often do the same and I have to tell them to slow down!

(P.S. sometimes Moominmama makes khachapuri, and everyone ends up asleep within the following hour. I get why you like it, it's quite scrumptious indeed.)

As for myself, I believe my favorite part for traveling into the south each winter is to see all the locals. They're never the same, but they welcome me like family, just like the Moomins! Plus, all the freshly baked goods and beautifully grown produce are always a refresher after eating so many meals in Moominvalley. Cleanses my palate, y'know?

By the way, I don't mind if you write so much about your own travels, they're your own! I'm here to share some of mine, and you're here to ask and tell about your own adventures! A give and give situation, if you must.

Keep having those wonderful travels! Looking forward to hearing more in the future. - Snufkin

Tegnap lett kenyer, mint kiderult, ebben a sutoben inkabb a French oven-ben erdemes a kenyeret csinalni, es meg ket perccel rovidebb ideig sutni, es akkor maga lesz a tokely!

Emellett meg csinaltam khachapuri-t, ugyan nem volt olyan, mint Gruziaban, de azert jot ettunk!

So it’s doesn’t look all aesthetically pleasing but my goodness was it ever delicious. I filled it with other things than just cheesy goodness because my love wouldn’t have been as adventurous. He has to be reasonable when it comes to cheese and the recipes I found landed on the too much side. But regardless will be making again.

I did use my sourdough starter for it which made it all the more enjoyable tbh

Georgian cuisine is my weakness. The photo is relatively old, but no less appetizing:)
