In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil to the dry ingredients while mixing. Knead for 8-10 minutes until a soft, smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm spot, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 240°C (465°F) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and crumbled feta cheese. Set aside.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 2 equal parts. On a floured surface, roll out each piece into an oval shape, approximately 25-30 cm long.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto parchment paper. Lift the edges and pinch them together to create a boat shape, leaving a well in the center for the cheese.
Fill the center of each dough boat with the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.
Carefully place the filled dough onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone using the parchment paper to assist. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and gently crack one egg yolk into the center of each Khachapuri. Add a small pat of butter on top of the cheese.
Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the egg yolk is slightly set but still runny.
Serve immediately while hot. Tear off a piece of the bread, dip it into the melted cheese and runny egg yolk, and enjoy your authentic Khachapuri!
