Hawawshi is a well-known Egyptian street food of spiced minced meat baked or grilled inside pocket bread, closely associated with Alexandria and widely sold from bakeries and street stalls across the country. Its exact origin point isn't clearly documented in available sources, and it's best understood as a modern Egyptian adaptation of the broader regional practice of baking meat inside flatbread rather than a dish with a single traceable inventor or founding date.
