Hot and cold pita bread

Nourishing and very convenient lavash snacks have been prepared by Arab and Caucasian chefs for many centuries, stuffing them with a variety of fillings. We have similar dishes appeared relatively recently, but gained popularity in a matter of time. What products are better to use, and how to properly serve such a snack? All this will be discussed below!

Recommendations of an experienced hostess

1. You can buy lavash at any bakery or make yourself from flour, water, salt and butter. What to do depends on the availability of free time and desire.
2. It is important to cook the fillings juicy, but not runny. Otherwise, they will make the thin bread wet, as a result of which it will crack, and the liquid will flow out.
3. In this case, the minced meat should be fine. Otherwise, large pieces will tear the pita bread, which will ruin the appearance of the snack.
4. After the preparation is formed, it is recommended to bake it or fry it in a pan to form a crispy crust.
5. It is better to do the dressings used with your own hands, so that in the end the dish turns out not only appetizing and tasty, but also healthy.
