Each country boasts its own traditional pastries. There are less well-known and widespread, and there are those that, because of their taste, have long left the borders of their countries and have become known all over the world. One of these products is lavash.
What is lavash?
Lavash is a traditional bread in the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, it is a flatbread made from wheat flour without any sweet additives. It is, in fact, unleavened bread that will go well with any dish.
Lavash looks different in different countries. It all depends on how you bake. It can be baked in a tandoor, or it can be fried in a pan. Both methods make the cake very tasty and fragrant, despite the simplicity of the recipe. The composition of traditional lavash includes only a few ingredients: wheat flour, water and a little salt. After kneading, the dough is rolled into thin sheets and baked. During frying, the dough bubbles, and golden crusts form in places of swelling.
In countries where lavash has long been used as bread, it is served with both vegetables and meat dishes, and even to pilaf.
In Armenia, lavash is made thin, but, for example, in Georgia, it is thick and lush. Italy has its own kind of pita - pita.
You can find both in stores. Both of them are made from wheat flour, but baked using different technologies. Both types of pita bread are in demand, because they can be used as a basis for various snacks, casseroles, rolls, pizzas. Lavash casserole is a scope for the imagination of the hostess.

In order to cook a pita casserole with minced meat, you need very simple products, which can be found in the refrigerator of every housewife: pita bread, minced meat, onion, tomato, hard cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, herbs, salt and pepper to taste.
Pre-fry 2 small onions with 400 g of minced meat. Then put on minced meat, put slices of tomato on top, sprinkle with grated cheese and season with herbs and spices, pour a little mayonnaise for juiciness. Roll the resulting base into a roll and lay in a round shape. So make another pita bread and put it next to the first one in the same way. The form must be completely filled with rolls. Before you put the casserole to bake, it must be poured with a beaten egg mixed with sour cream. For two eggs you need to take about 200 g of sour cream.

Buying bread has become a habit for everyone. Given that now even chemical mixtures are added to it, some begin to bake at home. Ordinary bread and long loaf is quite difficult to make, it is easier to bake pita bread.
The recipe is very easy to translate into reality. To do this, you need only 400 g of flour and 400 ml of water, salt is added to taste. Hot water is slowly poured into the flour. It is hot so that the dough becomes elastic. It should turn out to be moderately dense so that it can be rolled out. Ready dough divided into equal parts, each rolled into a pancake and fried in a pan until golden brown. Lavash should be stacked and covered with a towel so that they do not become brittle. Now they can be eaten like bread, or they can be used for pita bread casseroles.
You can buy cakes, you can bake yourself, but you must definitely try to make delicious snack or a casserole.
Very tasty and hearty meal- Lavash casserole with minced meat, perfect for the dinner table. Everyone should like this casserole, in addition, you can serve only fresh chopped tomatoes or your favorite greens. Minced meat for casseroles is better to take not dry, so that the dish is juicy. It will also not take much time, so I suggest that you immediately go to the kitchen.
To prepare pita bread casseroles with minced meat in the oven, you must immediately prepare all the products on the list.
Heat the pan and fry the minced meat for 7-10 minutes. In the process, peel and chop the onion, add to the minced meat. Transfer the fried minced meat to a deep bowl in which it will be convenient to mix all the ingredients for the filling.
Separately fry oyster mushrooms, you can take any other mushrooms, or you can do without them at all - a matter of your taste. Add mushrooms to mince.
Peel and cut the sweet pepper into cubes, also cut the tomatoes into cubes. Fry both vegetables in a separate pan so that the tomatoes release their juice - 2-3 minutes will be enough. Transfer the fried tomatoes with pepper to the minced meat and mushrooms. Chop up a bunch of fresh parsley.
Add salt, pepper and dried garlic.
Mix the ingredients - it turned out to be a very juicy and tasty filling.
I had one long pita bread, I did not cut it. If you have three pita breads in a package, then you need to fill two, and leave one. So, if there is one large pita bread, lay it out on the table, leave a little space on top, spread the minced meat along the entire length of the pita bread (as shown in the photo). After twisting one long roll. Twist not to the end, cut off a couple of centimeters of pita bread at the very end and set aside.
Grease the baking dish, lay the stuffed roll in the form of a “snail”. There should be a void in the middle.

We unfold the sheets of pita bread. On each of them it is necessary to lay out a not very thick layer of pre-prepared minced meat. On top, you can put sliced tomatoes, coarsely chopped bell peppers, as well as greens. It is necessary to roll the rolls carefully, putting a lot of effort to make it tight.
We pre-lubricate the baking sheet with oil, after which we lay out the rolls of pita bread on it. They must be laid out tightly to each other so that the filling does not flow down.
First, sprinkle all the rolls with breadcrumbs, then pour the filling. If desired, you can also sprinkle the rolls with hard cheese. Cook them in the oven at medium temperature until golden brown.

Then peel and cut the potatoes very thinly.
Now we take a baking dish and cover it with pita bread. I have a detachable form. So I covered it with a baking bag.

We put another pita bread on top of the potatoes.
Put mince on it. Lubricate with a little mayonnaise.
Then again cover with pita bread and lay out the remaining potatoes. Salt, grease with mayonnaise.

- sour cream - 250 gr;

- semolina - 2 tbsp. l;
- cherry - 300 gr;

Combine the yolk with salt, a spoonful of refined vegetable oil, stir. Add water and add flour.
We knead the dough. It should be firm but soft and not sticky. Cover, leave for 30 minutes in a cold place.
During this time, prepare the filling and filling.
For the curd filling, I used ready-made, pasty cottage cheese. I just have to add two tablespoons of sugar and semolina to the curd mass, for flavor - half a packet of vanilla sugar and stir. If the cottage cheese is grainy, it must be ground and an additional 2 eggs added.
Defrost cherries in advance, prepare cane sugar. If not, the regular one will do, and those who are not too sweet can refuse sugar altogether.
To fill the casserole: two eggs, a glass of sour cream of any fat content, two tablespoons of white sugar and vanilla residue. I would also advise adding a couple of tablespoons of melted butter, then the crust will turn out to be more appetizing. And I just forgot to do it, so I smeared the browned top at the very end.
I put all the necessary ingredients in one container and whipped with a blender whisk. Fast and efficient.
The dough was divided into two parts and rolled out into a thin layer. Like dumplings. Spread on a lightly oiled baking sheet and roasted in the oven on both sides.
The dough was immediately covered with small bubbles. I almost forgot the most important thing: the dough was fried at a temperature of 200 degrees for 3-5 minutes on both sides. It is necessary that the pita bread is slightly browned.
To make pita bread soft, you can put it in a plastic bag
or cover immediately with damp curd filling. Let stand for a while so that the dough gets slightly wet.
and lay out on the cottage cheese in a checkerboard pattern.
Lavash is rolled into a roll.
And put in a heat-resistant form in the form of a spiral.
Our building is filled with cream filling.
And send it to the oven, heated to 180 degrees. The casserole will brown quickly, in about 15-20 minutes.
We release the casserole from the mold, but not immediately, but when it cools down a bit. The casserole is very soft and tender, so it can fall apart without reaching the dish.
A cut of lace rings of dough and cottage cheese looks very appetizing, and the casserole itself is delicious, delicious. Next time I want to try raw dumpling dough. I'm very interested in how this will turn out.

Recipe 7: Vegetable casserole with minced meat in pita bread
Delicate classic filling, pita bread soaked in bechamel sauce, spicy taste parmesan cheese...
- 1-2 sheets of pita bread;
- 250 g of minced meat;
- 2-3 tomatoes;
- 200 g mushrooms;
- 2 onions;
- Vegetable oil (for frying);
- 100 g parmesan;
- 50 g butter;
- 50 g flour;
- 500 ml of milk;
- Salt pepper.
Prepare the filling first. To do this, peel the onion and chop it.
Cut the tomatoes into cubes. If they have a thick skin, remove it. Pre-scald the tomato or hold it for a few seconds in boiling water - it will be easier to remove the skin.
In two frying pans moistened with oil, fry the onion for 3 minutes until soft.
In one pan, add the tomatoes to the onions. Roast, stirring, 15 minutes.
In another skillet, add the minced meat to the onions. Break it into small grains and fry until tender (about 20 minutes).
Mushrooms boil or fry.
Now that all the ingredients for the filling are ready, you can prepare a white sauce - bechamel. To do this, melt in a non-stick frying pan or in a saucepan with non-stick coating butter.
Gently, in small portions, add flour to the butter. Rub it so that there are no lumps. Then pour in cold milk. First, add a little less than a glass of milk, whisk, and then pour in the rest of the milk.
Bring the mixture to a boil, and then cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes. Salt the sauce, add black pepper. Consistency white sauce should be similar to liquid sour cream. Pour the finished bechamel sauce into a bowl at room temperature.
The final touch is to prepare the pita sheets. At least two of them are needed, more can be (then you need more stuffing). Of these, you need to cut (you can use scissors) sheets that repeat the baking dish in size and shape.
Grind the parmesan on a coarse grater.
Now you can collect the dish and prepare it for baking. Brush the bottom of the dish with bechamel sauce.
Put one sheet of pita bread on the bottom of the mold.
Put onion-tomato filling on it.
Put the fried minced meat and mushrooms on top of the onion-tomato layer.
Lubricate the filling with bechamel sauce and sprinkle with parmesan.
Cover the filling with a second sheet of pita bread.
On the second sheet of pita bread, repeat the filling (steps 14-16). Then you can make more identical layers, but everything should end with bechamel sauce and parmesan.
Send the casserole dish to the oven (t=180°C) for 20 minutes.
Casserole of pita, minced meat and vegetables "Fantasy on the theme of lasagna" is ready! Bon Appetit.
Recipe 8: pita cheese casserole (with photo)
The casserole can be prepared both sweet and with salted cottage cheese. To do this, put either sugar or salt in the cottage cheese to your liking.
Add 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, salt (or sugar) to taste to the cottage cheese and mix well.
You should get such a homogeneous curd mass.
Roll up the spread sheet.
Cut the roll into 6 small rolls and place on a baking sheet previously greased with vegetable oil.
Separately, we make the filling for the casserole: combine 2 eggs with the remaining sour cream, lightly salt and mix well.
Cut into portions and serve with sour cream.
I specifically wrote meat, not minced meat. Don't be lazy, twist, I highly recommend not buying already minced meat, because if it was not ground before your eyes, then it is completely unknown what this very stuffing consists of. Perhaps it is mostly veins and fat.
So, skip the meat through a meat grinder.
Peel the garlic, pass through a press or chop with a knife. Add it to the mince.
Peel the onion, chop rather coarsely. Heat the pan, add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil and fry it over a fairly high heat, about two minutes. We do not need fried onions, we need juicy, slightly golden ones. We put it in a meat grinder and scroll to the minced meat.
You can skip this step (frying), and immediately scroll the fresh onion to the minced meat. But personally, I like it better when it is lightly fried, the flavor changes for the better.
In the same bowl where we have minced meat and onions, add chopped tomatoes along with juice. If you are using fresh, then take about three normal tomatoes and chop them in a blender or pass through the same meat grinder.
grind green onion and together with breadcrumbs, as well as two tablespoons of sour cream, add to the minced meat. Then salt, black pepper and mix everything well.
Turn on the oven at 180".
Three cheese on a grater and put aside 50 grams.
Then I remembered the chanterelles, which were idle, already cooked, in the refrigerator for the second day. I decided to use them, and it was they who were distributed among my greenery. You can simply ignore this ingredient, or you can add something at your discretion and taste ... For example, fried champignons, or you can baked or fresh sweet paprika (pepper, in the sense). Sprinkle everything on top with grated cheese (except for the set aside 50 grams).
If possible, tightly and carefully roll the pita bread into a roll. The longer you lay out the filling, the more pita bread will be soaked with juices, and the more likely it will tear. If this happens - it's okay, try to transfer it as carefully as possible into the form (if it is long, then you can cut it into two halves and transfer it in parts).
We put the roll in the form and grease it on top with the remaining tablespoon of sour cream. Put it in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, I can suggest that you make a very pleasant, fresh salad for garnish. We cut everything, for example, with medium-sized straws (I have a special grater - 1 minute and you're done): 150 grams fresh cucumber, 100 grams of an apple (peeled and core weight) and 70 grams of fresh carrots.
Mix with sour cream (about 3 tablespoons), add freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 teaspoon), about a third of a teaspoon of sugar and salt to taste. Next, tear a couple of lettuce leaves in the same place and mix everything well.
It will be beautiful if you, for example, form this salad using a culinary ring. This process takes a minimum of time, and the feed wins a lot. We spread the salad in a ring and press it a little so that when the ring is removed, it does not fall apart.
Top with dill and cherry tomato slices or simply small tomatoes. It's simple, the salad pleases with vitamins and a fresh, juicy taste (special thanks to apples) - the very thing for a rather heavy casserole.
After your casserole has been in the oven for 25 minutes and is almost ready, sprinkle it with the remaining fifty grams of cheese and return for another 5 minutes to form a cheese crust.
Everything, next to the salad lay out our casserole and serve. Good appetite!
