Armenian lavash rolls in the oven. Minced meat in pita bread in the oven: recipes

Have you tried hot lavash rolls baked in the oven? These recipes are not as popular as classic snack cold rolls, and for good reason. The baked lavash roll turns out to be very interesting in taste and beautiful, with a ruddy, appetizing crust.

To be honest, I recently discovered this recipe myself and was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out in the end. I saw a recipe for a lavash roll in the oven somewhere on the Internet, and I liked the idea itself. But the filling in that version was not to my taste.

Therefore, when I got ready to cook, I improvised a little. And I got a lavash roll in the oven with chicken, egg and vegetables. I won't be modest, it turned out great! So now this oven-baked lavash stuffed with chicken is one of my family’s favorites.

My husband, for example, often asks me to cook it for work: at lunch he just needs to heat the roll in the microwave, and he’s done. And for breakfast or dinner, a hot lavash roll in the oven is perfect. Well, was I convincing? Then I invite you to the kitchen - to cook!

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of thin pita bread;
• 2 tbsp. l. mayonnaise;
• 1 small onion;
• 1 small carrot;
• 100 g chicken fillet;
• 1 egg;
• salt, black pepper to taste;
• vegetable oil;
• 1 yolk.

How to cook lavash roll in the oven with chicken:

We will need thin pita bread, the approximate sheet size of which is 20 by 40 cm. Please note that it is best for pita bread rolls with chicken in the oven (as, indeed, for other pita bread rolls) to take rectangular pita bread, not round or oval. Lavash with rounded edges is more difficult to roll into a neat roll.

Grease a sheet of lavash with 1 tbsp. mayonnaise (preferably homemade).

Let's prepare the filling for the roll. Cut the onion into half rings and grate the carrots onto a coarse grater. First sauté the onion half rings in vegetable oil over low heat, and then, when they become transparent, add the carrots to them and cook the whole place, stirring, over low heat for 5-7 minutes.

Boil the chicken fillet until tender, cut into small cubes. Boil the egg hard, cool, peel and also cut into cubes.

We combine the ingredients for the filling: onions with carrots, chicken fillet, egg. Add the remaining mayonnaise and mix. If necessary, add salt and pepper to taste.

Spread the filling evenly on a sheet of lavash.

Roll the pita bread into a tight roll.

And place the roll in a baking dish, greased with a small amount of vegetable oil. If your shape, like mine, is not too large, then you can cut the roll into 2-3 parts.

Beat the yolk and brush the top of the roll with it.

Now you can send the form with pita bread to the oven, preheated to 220 degrees. As soon as the surface of the pita bread is covered with a golden brown crust (approximately after 15 minutes), the mold can be taken out.

To organize a light snack or appetizer for the holiday table, pita bread is often used (baked in the oven or simply rolled up). As for the filling, it can be different. It all depends on what the roll is being prepared for and what products are available.

Lavash baked in the oven with ham and vegetables

This wonderful roll is perfect as a meal and can also be used as a separate dish. The only drawback of this roll is its high calorie content. For 2 sheets of thin pita bread you will need 200 grams of cheese and ham, a little ketchup and mayonnaise, as well as any vegetables (ideally tomato, bell pepper, green onions, parsley). These ingredients make two rolls; to prepare one you need to take half the ingredients.

First you need to prepare the filling, for this you randomly chop the ham, grate the cheese, and also wash and cut the vegetables. Tomatoes - in rings, onions and herbs - finely, peppers - in strips. Lavash should be spread on the table, spread with ketchup, put in ham, sprinkle with cheese, put tomatoes on it, then peppers, and onions and herbs on top. Then it is rolled up, placed on a baking sheet, greased with mayonnaise (you can do without it) and baked. Keep the pita bread in the oven for 5 - 10 minutes, after which it should be taken out and cut into portions. The dish can be served!

For those who do not want to bake pita bread in the oven, we can recommend a cold roll with various fillings, for example, sausage, cheese and pickled mushrooms.

Then one half is smeared with mayonnaise, randomly chopped mushrooms and chopped herbs are laid out. The second part of the pita bread is placed on top, also coated with mayonnaise, then the sausage cut into cubes is laid out and sprinkled with grated cheese.

Lavash in the oven - useful tips and tricks

To get a golden brown crust on the baked lavash, you can grease the surface with butter. If an egg is used, then granulated sugar or a little honey is added to it for a more beautiful color.

Has the pita bread dried out, crumbled and become tasteless? Don't throw it away, it's good for baking! Lubricate the layer with any sauce, mayonnaise or just water and after 5 minutes it will be restored. We wrap any fillings in it and send it to the oven!

To ensure that the filling in the pita bread does not spill out, is dense and sticks together, you can add a raw egg to it. When baking, it will set and prevent any pieces from falling out. You can also add grated cheese.

To give baked pita bread a beautiful look and a pleasant aroma, you need to brush it with egg and then sprinkle with sesame seeds. You can also use sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and nuts.

Onions take a very long time to cook, so it’s better to fry them a little before adding them to the pita bread. Otherwise, the filling will crunch.

Garlic and hot spices must be stirred into the filling or sauce before adding to the pita bread. If you just sprinkle a layer, they will not be distributed evenly.

I experimented a lot with shape and filling. And now I want to present to your attention the most successful and delicious recipe for pita bread with meat in the oven.

Kitchen tools: sharp knife, grater, silicone brush, frying pan and baking dish.

Required Ingredients

How to choose the right ingredients

• Lavash is very easy to choose. Buy it at a store or supermarket. It should be pale in color. Individual convex parts of pita bread may be brown and fried. If the pita bread was heavily rolled in flour, perhaps they were trying to hide its “venerable age.” Plastic packaging does not allow air to penetrate inside, which can cause the dough to become soggy, so do not buy pita bread in such packaging.
• Minced meat must be chosen very carefully. It should be of uniform consistency and color. Read the ingredients, it should not contain anything other than meat. If you see mechanically separated meat in the product, do not buy this product. This means that there are connective tissues, skin, fat and tendons, processed in a special way. It is almost impossible to calculate such components in minced meat. Also, high-quality minced meat cannot cost much less than meat. If the price is too low, don't try to save money. Most likely, such a product contains many cheap and harmful ingredients.

If the minced meat smells like spices, this is a sign that the manufacturer or seller wanted to hide the unpleasant odor. It is also important to find the expiration date and other important information on the packaging. This is the energy value, manufacturer contacts, etc.

• For this recipe, choose fatty and thick sour cream.
• The brand of hard cheese does not matter, just choose natural, high-quality cheese.
• Take green olives without pits.
