Excellent. Thanks, will keep you posted on how it turns out. I buy it here in Hurghada made with minced meat, will give that a go also. Next to Koshari it is my favourite.

This sounds very similar to the Turkish Lahmacun, here is a picture;

yes mushtaq that is very true , i loved that in Turkey almost had a week eating it. the only different is we put the meat between the bed. and cover it with foil. then in the oven , also the kind of bread that we use u can not find it any where else in the world.

Interesting.....will have to try that version - I think I will have to use round pitta bread, which is the nearest I think to Baladi we can find here.



Is this the Baladi bread, I have seen in Egyptian films people carry these from the bakery on large trays?

I made these this evening and they came out great, the pitta bread was not brilliant but very enjoyable, the meat was cooked well in the oven, I used to make it like the Turkish way, which was to grill it.

Now going to be making Hawawshi regularly, pretty easy too
