In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and gradually mix in the all-purpose flour until the mixture forms a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 240°C (465°F).
In a separate bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the shredded mozzarella.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal pieces.
Roll each piece of dough into a rough oval shape, approximately 10 inches long.
Fold the edges of each oval to form rims, pinching the ends to create a boat shape.
Distribute the cheese mixture evenly among the dough boats, leaving a small space in the center.
Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and make a small indentation in the center of each khachapuri. Crack an egg into each indentation, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.
Remove from the oven and add a tablespoon of butter to each khachapuri before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, cheesy flavor of the Adjarian Khachapuri.
