Greek Pita Bread for Gyros

In a bowl, pour 300ml warm water, add in the yeast, 1 tsp sugar and 100g flour. 

Whisk and let 10-15 minutes until a foam forms.

After this time, pour in oil, salt and the rest of the flour. 

Start to mix/knead the dough with a  spoon.

Turn dough onto floured table and continue to knead with your hands until it is smooth.

Place dough back in the bowl and let rise for about 1 hour.

Notice how in 1 hour it triples its volume.

Remove dough from the bowl, cut in 8 equal parts and shape 8 balls. 

Let rest on the table for 10 minutes.

Use the rolling pin to roll out each ball into a circle of about 24-26cm in diameter.

Heat up a skillet and brush it with a bit of oil, before you cook each pita bread.

Now place a pita bread in the skillet, over medium heat and pinch the air bubbles with a fork.  

Cook them until golden brown on both sides.

Repeat the procedure for all pitas and put them in a pile to keep them warm and flexible when bended. 

Of course, you can serve them with any food, not just with gyros :) 

Enjoy!
