Hawawshi (sometimes spelled Hawwaoshi; Egyptian Arabic: حواوشي‎; IPA: [ħæˈwæwʃi]) is a traditional Egyptian dish. It is a pita stuffed with minced meat and spiced with onions, pepper, parsley, and occasionally chilies. In most of Egypt, it is baked by filling the flat Egyptian bread with the meat mix and then baking it in the oven. In Alexandria, the ingredients are placed between two circular layers of dough, then baked in an oven.^[1]

Hawawshi is commonly made in Egyptian homes and is also served in some restaurants, usually as a take-away.
