🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Hawawshi
Hawawshi is Egypt's answer to the meat pie, a street food icon where spiced ground meat is stuffed inside pockets of round Egyptian baladi bread and baked or grilled until the bread turns shatteringly crisp while the interior stays juicy and aromatic. Every neighborhood bakery and street stall in Cairo has its own version, and the aroma of hawawshi baking is irresistible.
