Start by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine instant yeast and sugar with 150 ml of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add olive oil and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F).
While the dough is rising, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine grated low sodium mozzarella, crumbled low sodium feta, and plain Greek yogurt. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part into a rough oval shape, about 20 cm long.
Place the dough ovals on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Create the boat shape by folding in the long edges of each oval tightly, and twisting the short ends to secure them. Leave a well in the center for the filling.
Divide the cheese filling between the two dough boats, filling the center wells evenly.
Bake the khachapuri in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the khachapuri from the oven. Using a spoon, create a small well in the center of each boat if necessary, and carefully crack an egg into each well.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny.
Once done, remove from the oven and dot each khachapuri with small slices of unsalted butter.
Serve immediately, mixing the yolk and butter into the cheese before eating.
