Also for the filling you can take products that do not require heat treatment - curd or berries. To soften lavash sheets a mixture of yogurt and eggs is used.

How to collect pita cake

A sheet of pita bread is placed on a small baking tray. Do not grease the tray. The edges should hang from the baking tray, this is necessary in order to close the cake. Put a layer of fillings, then tear off the pita leaf by the size of the pie, wet it in a mixture of eggs and yogurt and lay it on the filling. Again, put the filling, again lavash, and so on. So put 2 to 4 layers of filling.

The pie filling can be salty. This is a filling of meat, fish, vegetables, eggs. There are added salt, spices, herbs. If the filling is dry, the lavash sauce is added directly to it.

Also the filling can be sweet. This is a filling of berries, fruits, jam, marmalade, cottage cheese.
