Georgian steampunk recipes — classic dishes reimagined with storytelling and flavor.
Intro/Story
In the roaring furnaces of the Chrononaut’s workshop, Shotis Puri rises like a parchment of time. Baked against the walls of a clay oven, its elongated form recalls the scrolls of explorers and the iron plates of steam engines – a bread forged in fire and tradition.
Shotis Puri (Georgian: შოთის პური) is one of Georgia’s most traditional breads, baked in a clay oven called a tone. The dough is pressed against the hot inner walls of the oven, producing elongated loaves with a crisp crust and soft interior. It is considered a staple of Georgian cuisine, often served with cheese, stews, or grilled meats. The preparation reflects centuries‑old baking traditions that remain central to Georgian food culture.
