Directions
Greek Pita Bread, If you’ve ever been in a Greek restaurant, this is both the bread used for Gyros (pronounced he-ros) and the dipping bread used for hummus or olive oil dipping sauce The difference is in the size you roll it out to – 8 for Gyros, 10 for dipping It calls for all-purpose flour, but bread flour is closer to what is typical in Greece , Perfect for home made gyros! When I make them next time, I think I will omit the cornmeal and just use olive oil and will try the bread flour just for comparison , If you’ve ever been in a Greek restaurant, this is both the bread used for Gyros (pronounced he-ros) and the dipping bread used for hummus or olive oil dipping sauce The difference is in the size you roll it out to – 8 for Gyros, 10 for dipping It calls for all-purpose flour, but bread flour is closer to what is typical in Greece
