Hawawshi is one of the most famous Egyptian dishes and recipes.

In Egypt, Egyptians eat hawawshi in two ways, either Alexandrian hawawshi or my country hawawshi

We presented you with the way to make the Alexandrian Hawawshi in a previous recipe (you can view it from here) Today, we will introduce you to the Egyptian way to make baladi hawawshi

What distinguishes the Hawawshi Baladi from the Alexandrian is that the minced meat is placed in bread directly, unlike the Alexandrian hawawshi, which has a special dough

Hawawshi Baladi can be prepared with two types of bread (pita bread or Arabic bread).

The baladi hawawshi is served with the baladi salad or the green salad, as well as with tahini
