Homemade baked goods are rightfully considered the most delicious. Many modern housewives are increasingly mastering new culinary recipes in order to pamper their households with hearty and nutritious baked goods.
Lavash pie with minced meat is especially famous these days - it cooks quickly, but turns out deliciously tasty, soft and tender inside. But for this, it is important to carefully follow the cooking recipe, as well as strictly adhere to the dosage of products - only then will it be possible to achieve a positive result, and the baked goods will turn out tasty and appetizing.
Tips for baking pita meat pies
To make your own nutritious pie with good taste, you can use both rectangular and round layers of pita bread. The main thing is to take them fresh, since dried ones will not make a tender and soft treat.
You can make the following types of pies from lavash at home:
- open;
- closed;
- roll;
- snail.
To make the meat filling more juicy, it is recommended to add raw or lightly fried vegetables, tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, and so on. The main thing is that the products you choose are combined with the minced meat and do not interrupt its taste in the pie.
Attention! You can make minced meat for baking yourself or buy a semi-finished product in the store. In the second case, you will need to add vegetables, crackers or some bread to the filling, since the store-bought product often turns out watery after thawing.
Almost every recipe for lavash pie says that before cooking it needs to be poured with a special filling or individual layers should be coated with it. Then they will turn out softer, which will undoubtedly affect the taste of the baked goods.
Depending on the filling, the cooking time for pies may vary - it usually takes 30-80 minutes. They should be cooked in the oven, which is recommended to be preheated to 180 degrees. This will help the filling stay juicy and the pita bread not to dry out.

Cooking pie with minced lavash in the oven
Minced lavash pie with filling is a particular success among modern housewives. Baking is easy and quick to prepare, and you don’t need to spend a lot on ingredients. You can use any minced meat - beef, pork, chicken, or mix two types.
Ingredients:
- 800 grams of minced meat;
- 50 grams of sour cream (it is better to choose a product with low fat content);
- 1.5 thin pita bread;
- one egg;
- onion head;
- a small piece of cheese (it is better to choose a type that is not too salty);
- a bunch of dill;
- spices for minced meat;
- half a small spoon of salt.
Ingredients for filling:
- 150 grams of sour cream;
- 2 eggs;
- a small piece of cheese.
Cooking method
First of all, turn on the oven to warm up at 180 degrees. Place the minced meat in a bowl or large, deep plate, add the egg, salt and spices, then mix the filling well. Then add the chopped greens and onion (it is recommended to peel and grate it to make a paste). Mix the filling again and add sour cream and grated cheese. That's all - the pie filling is ready.
Now carefully open the pita bread and spread the filling on it in an even layer. It is important to distribute it correctly - the layer should not be too thick or, conversely, thin.
The next step is to roll the pita bread into a roll, which should be tight.
Cover a baking sheet or baking pan with parchment. Carefully roll the rolls into a snail shape and place them in the mold. If the pita bread tears a little, it’s okay.
Now you need to make a filling that will hold the layers together and make the baked goods more juicy and tender inside. To do this, mix all the ingredients (except cheese) and beat them with a whisk or fork. Pour the finished filling into the mold, trying to do it evenly.
Sprinkle the top of the pita bread with cheese and place the pie in the oven for 80 minutes. The cake will rise during cooking, but will settle back down once it cools. It is recommended to serve baked goods warm while they retain their juiciness and excellent aroma.
A positive aspect of this recipe is that the finished lavash pie can be frozen if it is difficult to finish in one go.

Recipe for making lavash pie with minced meat in a slow cooker
If you have a slow cooker on hand, the process of preparing a meat pie is greatly simplified. However, the bowl of the device, as a rule, is not too large, so the rolls will need to be rolled up before cooking.
Ingredients:
- 3-4 sheets of pita bread (it is recommended to choose thin ones);
- onion head;
- 2 eggs;
- Minced meat – 500g
- several cloves of garlic;
- salt and spices to taste;
- 1.5 glasses of milk (you can take more if desired);
- 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
Cooking method
Lavash pie with minced meat will cook faster, since the meat filling must be made in advance. Finely chop the onion and garlic, fry lightly in oil, then add minced meat, tomato paste, spices and salt to the pan.
Mix the filling and fry until it becomes crumbly. Then we wait until the minced meat has cooled and spread it in an even layer on the sheets of pita bread. It is important not to put too much filling as it may tear the pita breads.
As soon as the minced meat is laid out, roll up the sheets, transfer them to the multicooker bowl and pour over the filling, which is prepared from milk and eggs. Close the lid of the device, turn on the “baking” program and cook the pie for 40-50 minutes.
If the recipe is made correctly, the pie will not fall apart, but will turn out soft and juicy.
Forming the cake
Prepare the filling. To do this, combine sour cream with eggs and then whisk. Brush each pita bread with sour cream and egg sauce. Cover the baking dish with cooking fat, cover one side with pita bread, so that part of it covers the bottom, and the other covers the sides of the mold and hangs slightly over the edge. Place the remaining loaves of bread in a similar manner, so that as a result both the bottom and the walls of the mold are completely closed, and the free edges hang in different directions. Lay out the filling, distribute evenly throughout the entire form, trying not to crush the mass, but carefully rake it with a spoon. Fold the edges and generously brush with sour cream and egg sauce. If desired, you can sprinkle the top with hard cheese, grated on a coarse grater.
A springform baking pan is best suited for this recipe: the finished lavash pie will be easy to remove from this design. If there is no split option, you can use a regular metal or ceramic mold. However, be careful when removing the cake: its texture is so soft and delicate that it may crumble. In this case, it is better not to take the lavash pie with cheese out of the mold at all, but to cut it into portioned pieces directly in it.

- 1 package of thin pita bread,
- 4 tbsp. spoons of mayonnaise,
- 400 g cheese,
- 1 glass of milk,
- 2 eggs,
- 30 g butter
Grease the pan in which you are going to bake the cake with butter. Preferably thicker. Cut the lavash sheets to fit the mold.
I got seven round cakes. But, if you want to make a bigger pie, you can take two or three packages. Then the mass of ingredients will naturally increase. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
I took “Russian”, but with “Gouda” cheese it will be simply delicious.
Lubricate the flatbread with mayonnaise, a thin layer,
so as not to be too cloying. Now sprinkle with cheese. The bigger, the better.
Cover with the second tortilla.
I ended up with seven layers.
Now pour milk into a bowl, add eggs, a little salt and beat with a mixer. Pour this omelette over the pie.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place the pie in the oven and bake for about twenty-thirty minutes until a golden crust forms.
You can cook pita bread with cheese in the microwave. The same thing, but keep it until the cheese melts.
