Directions
Greek Pita Bread,This recipe for Greek pita bread can be used for ‘souvlaki’ and ‘gyros’ sandwiches, Found on a greek website. 2 hours includes rising time,This recipe was easy to make, and delicious! Thanks for simplifying something that I’ve always wanted to try.,This was great. used it to put Beef Slouvaki on and my family loved it all. I found it very easy to make and would just be sure to have extra flour around because they are a little sticky to roll if you don’t. Thanks so much.
