3/4 cup kefir
1 egg
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups all purpose white flour + 1/4 cup for flouring the surface
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp butter
1/2 lb sulguni cheese
1 egg (optional)
1 pinch salt (optional)

Steps

Mix kefir, one egg, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Stir in the flour to form a soft dough, knead it briefly on a floured surface, and rest it for 10 minutes.
Crumble the sulguni cheese and mix it with the optional egg and salt if using.
Roll the dough into a 10-inch round, place the cheese in the center, fold the edges over it, and seal the top.
Flatten the filled dough into a 9-inch round, keeping the cheese enclosed.
Heat the oil and butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, then cook the bread for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
