detailed description

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast.
Add the warm water and oil, and knead the dough until it's smooth.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 1 hour.
In the meantime, prepare the cheese filling by mixing the sulguni and feta cheese with the eggs.
After the dough has risen, divide it into portions and shape each portion into a boat. Fill each boat with the cheese mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
