Hawawshi is a crispy, oven-baked Egyptian bread stuffed with a spiced mixture of minced beef or lamb, onions, bell peppers, parsley, and chili, sealed in baladi bread or homemade dough and baked until golden and juicy. Originating in Cairo in the 1970s, it's now a widely loved street food and home-style favorite across the country, with regional versions like the Alexandrian-style known for richer seasoning and a thinner crust. Commonly served hot with pickled vegetables and sometimes tahini, it offers a flavorful and satisfying handheld meal.
