Shotis puri

Shotis puri is a type of Georgian bread, traditionally baked in a specific type of clay oven known as a tone. The bread is a staple in Georgian cuisine and is often served with meals.

History

The history of Shotis puri dates back to ancient times in Georgia. The bread has been a staple in the Georgian diet for centuries, and the traditional method of baking in a tone oven is a significant part of Georgian culinary tradition.

Preparation

Shotis puri is made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt. The dough is shaped into a long, thin loaf and then baked in the tone oven. The unique shape of the bread allows it to bake quickly, resulting in a crusty exterior and a soft, fluffy interior.

Cultural significance

In Georgian culture, bread is considered a symbol of hospitality and is often served at every meal. Shotis puri, in particular, is a common sight at Georgian feasts, known as supras, where it is often served alongside dishes such as khachapuri and khinkali.
