Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Mix the sugar and yeast into the lukewarm water, then knead with the flour, salt and oil into a smooth dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. ⏱ Timer: 1 h
2. Mix the meat cubes with the onion, garlic and spices, and knead thoroughly so it releases a little liquid.
3. Divide the dough into two, and roll each into a circle about 25 cm across.
4. Put half the filling in the centre, fold the edge of the dough over, pinch it closed, then carefully flatten it, seam-side down, into a flatbread about 1 cm thick. Cut a small hole in the top.
5. Bake at 220 °C for 25-30 minutes, until the dough is golden brown and the meat is cooked through. ⏱ Timer: 25 min
6. Once out, brush with butter, rest for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve. ⏱ Timer: 5 min

Tips

• Don't mince the meat — cut it into cubes with a knife instead, so it stays juicy and distinctive.
• Svan salt is a Georgian spice mix of salt, garlic, coriander seed, cumin and utskho suneli.
