Georgian Cheese Bread with Egg

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. On a floured surface, roll the 1 lb pizza dough into a 10-inch oval, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle 1.5 cups mozzarella evenly over the center, leaving a 1-inch border.

Step 3

Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to form a boat shape, pinching the ends to seal. Bake until golden and puffed, about 12 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from oven and use a spoon to make a well in the center of the cheese. Crack the 1 egg into the well.

Step 5

Return to oven and bake until the egg white is set but yolk is still runny, about 5-7 minutes. Brush the crust with 2 tbsp melted butter and serve warm.

Step 6

Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing. The egg will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
