Lavash meat pies with minced meat - general principles of preparation
For the preparation of quick pies from pita bread, both round and rectangular layers are suitable. It is important that they are fresh, or rather, not dried out.

Several types of meat pies can be prepared from pita bread: closed, puff, in the form of a roll or a snail. Almost all the pies are baked in a round form, and the roll cake is cooked on a baking sheet.
Stuffing for the filling can be prepared with your own hands or use the purchased semi-finished product. For juiciness, sautéed or raw vegetables are added to the meat mass, and to diversify the taste - mushrooms, potatoes, tomatoes.

Lavash meat pies are baked in the oven, which is preheated to 180-190 degrees. Baking time can take from a quarter of an hour to 30 minutes, it depends on the filling and the type of cake.
