Gyros Pita Bread

Hello my dear friends!

Today I will share a new recipe made with dough.

Let’s cook Gyros pita bread.

Boarding pass please… we are going to Greece right now!!

I already shared a pita bread recipe, that you will cut in half and fill with meat, vegetables and white sauce…

The Gyros pita bread is a bit different: it will be cooked in a frying pan (and not in the oven) and then you will serve them shaped as a cone.

(I used my Mineral B frying pan by De Buyer).

I have great memories of a trip to Greece that I made when I was a teenager, eating gyros was one of the highlights of the trip! The Acropole, Korfou, Mycene, Olympia and… gyros!!

You get it, I had that in mind for a while now, I had to make Gyros pita bread at some point.

I chose to fill them in with chicken souvlakis, raw veggies (mainly tomatoes and cucumber) and my cucumber raïta. It was to die for!! You can also have those Gyros pita bread with humus, baba ganousch, grilled lamb… It’s really delicious.

The utensils:

A food processor with hook (you can also knead the dough by hand but you will need a bit of energy),

A rooling pin

And a 20/22 cm diameter frying pan.

Are you interested? Yes?

So let’s do this! The recipe, Chef!
