1. Mix the flour with the yeast, sugar and salt, add the milk, water and oil, and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. ⏱ Timer: 1 h
2. Mix the two cheeses with the egg and 2-3 tbsp water.
3. Preheat the oven to 250°C.
4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, and roll each into a roughly 25×15 cm oval.
5. Roll the long edges inward, pinch the two ends together and twist, to form a boat shape.
6. Place on a baking-paper-lined tray, fill the centre with the cheese mixture, and brush the dough edge with beaten egg.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is golden and the cheese is bubbling. ⏱ Timer: 10 min
8. Remove, make a well in the centre of the cheese, add an egg yolk to each, and return to the oven for another 1-2 minutes. ⏱ Timer: 1 min
9. Top each with a piece of butter and serve hot; before eating, stir the yolk and butter into the hot cheese, and tear off pieces of the bread's edge to dip.

Tips

• A mix of mozzarella and feta closely mimics the taste of Georgian cheeses.
• The egg yolk only bakes for 1-2 minutes, to stay runny.
