Baked Beef and Cheese Lavash Rolls
The original page describes filled lavash rather than homemade pita.
The original page describes filled lavash rather than homemade pita. These crisp oven-baked rolls wrap cooked ground meat, cottage cheese and mozzarella in thin flatbread. Cook the meat before assembly so the brief oven bake is only for heating and crisping the rolls. Cut the finished rolls into small portions for a snack platter, or serve a larger piece with a fresh salad. Heat oven to 180°C (350°F); cook onion in half the oil, add ground beef and cook until browned and 71°C (160°F); season and cool slightly. Combine cooked meat with cottage cheese and half the mozzarella. Divide filling between two lavash sheets, sprinkle remaining mozzarella and roll each tightly; set seam-side down on a lined tray.
