Hawawshi

Hawawshi (sometimes spelled Hawwaoshi; Egyptian Arabic: حواوشى‎‎; [ħæˈwæwʃi]) is a traditional Egyptian dish very similar to the Middle Eastern pizza-like Lahmacun. It is a meat minced and spiced with onions, pepper, parsley and sometimes hot peppers or chillies. In the city of Alexandria, the ingredients are placed between two circular layers of dough, then baked in an oven. Most of other Egyptian cities fill the flat Egyptian bread with the meat mix and then bake it in the oven.
