What about dill?

I have been making my own pita bread now for about 5 years or so and while our esteemed hosts recipe with make an acceptable pita that is far superior to what you will buy in your local mega-mart it does leave lots of room for improvement. My personal favorite recipe is 70% bread flour and 30% whole wheat flour (I do prefer King Arthur’s whole wheat flour because in my opinion it tastes better than most other commercial available whole wheat flours and has a higher protein content) to the total amount of flour I add 65% hydration (I.e if I had 1000 grams of flour total I have 650 grams/ml of liquid) of my total hydration amount I uses a 70% warm filtered water and 30% whole milk (so for 650 grams of hydration I use 455 of warm 90-100 degrees F filtered water and 195 grams of whole milk also at 90-100 degrees F) To the warm water I add 16 grams of dry yeast (1.6% of flour) and 30 grams of honey or granulated sugar (3% of total flour) and allow the honey yeast and water mixture to sit for 10 minutes after stirring it well. To the milk I add 50 grams of EVOO (5% of total flour) and to the flour I add 20 grams of Kosher salt or fine sea salt (2% of total flour) and 4 teaspoons of double acting baking powder. I mix the salt and baking powder into the flour then make a well and add the water/honey/yeast mixture and then the EVOO/milk mixture and mix to form a shaggy dough, at which point you can follow the directions on the video. I use bakers math for all of my proportions of ingredients. Bakers math uses the total amount of flour and then figures all other ingredients by a percentage from the amount of flour 1,000 grams of flour total 65% hydration 1,000*65%=650 of hydration (water, milk, etc) 2% salt 1,000*2%=20 grams of salt 1.5% dry yeast 1,000*1.5%=15 grams of dry yeast 3% honey/sugar 1,000*3%=30 grams of honey/sugar 5% EVOO 1,000*5%=50 grams of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Note for 6 to 7 inch pitas I use 105 grams of dough and for 9-11 inch pitas I use 150 grams of dough Always let your oven come back up to temp between baking each pita a couple of minutes.

GREAT I have tried it today I am so excited and looking forward to eventually perfect this recipe, if I can add 2 notes one for the time of cooking and one for the spices 1) mine was still medium some parts rare on the inside after 45 minutes on 200+ celcius on air so I will play with the overall thickness not so much of the thickness of the stake (apprx 1cm thick) but the overall diameter of the gyros and 2) on top of your recommended spices I added bit of cinnamon, cumin and ground coriander that gave a sweet tenderness on the overall result. Well done and thank you for the inspiration!

I worked in a nightclub in Greece and we finished work some days at like 5am or 6am and there was this little takeaway restaurant that opened for breakfast we’d always go to after work. They did chicken soup and breakfast sandwiches but the same places did gyros for €1.99 after 11 o’clock till late and there is nothing better after day drinking on the beach than a mixed pork and chicken gyros. If I was hungry I’d get 2

This meal was a hit with the whole family, including my three daughters who are picky eaters.

The quality of the whole thing was top notch but I think there were a few things that could have been different. 1. The Pitas (which means pie in Greek, but Greeks use that word for all kinds of pies like apple pie, or this pie etc) could have been a bit lighter in size and mass, they are usually smaller when served in Gyro places but thats not that big of a deal honestly. 2. Although I really like your idea of washing the onions with water to take out some of the acidity of the onion (and I am planning to use it in some recipes) it's not usually done with this kind of food. In Greece we usually just wash the onions briefly before cutting them since the Tzatziki is helping take out most of the acidity because of the yogurt. 3. Lastly, In my opinion, the sauce (Tzatziki) should go first unto the Pita so that it helps glue the rest of the ingredients together so they dont fall out like in most other fast foods (like burgers etc). So you just add the Tzatziki then the meat, onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Btw, cutting it in half is a sin! Don't do that :D.

Gotta say, I was so excited to see your tzatziki recipe and I was bummed there’s no dill or garlic. Maybe I’m eating inauthentic Greek food lol. I use full fat Greek yogurt, bunch of finely minced garlic, an English cuke (grated but not strained of its juices), unfiltered EVOO, and dill. Maybe a spritz of lemon if I’m eating it w/pita at home as a snack and not making full blown gyros. But also I’m not a chef and do not have a NYT bestselling cook book so what the hell do I know lol. Love ya papa.

True Thessaloniki gyros is one of the best things ever 🇬🇷❤️

This is authentic Greek and delish! Try dill instead of parsley in the tzatziki, even better

This was so freaking good and really fun to make. Def gonna make this again when I have people over

Great video, incredible recipe, great price and peppered, to taste with unique Papa innuendi. Marvellous!

Hey Josh - really appreciate your videos! Would you ever consider doing recipes that people living alone can do as well? I find that this series works, but I can’t do a lot of these because I live alone and a) it’s a lot of work b) a lot of it might go bad

My advice is to either halve the amounts or just get your exercise in and prepare to eat more than you normally would

My Grandma used to freeze the parts she wasn't going to eat right away. Bread is very cooperative.

I usually include mint in my tzatziki. It goes well with lamb.

My friend, big love and respect from Greece. l like your videos, I discovered your channel from the video with the expensive rammen 🇬🇷❤️

shout out to Joshua for teaching us how to plan for our future and giving us a gold star , love you papa , i won't fail you

I love when KZread chefs say something is "easy" and then proceed to describe a multi-day process. It's not that it's not worth it. Or that I won't do it. But c'mon, if something requires 20 steps and 30 hours of time, and the alternative is literally pulling something out of a bag, "easy" isn't the right word...

It’s not like you’re sitting there for 30 hours staring at an oven, I made this and it took 3 hours for multiple meals.

Hey Joshua, you should start a series called "But Simple" where you simplify extravagant dishes so regular home cooks can make them at home without spending the entire day in the kitchen. Love your stuff, keep it up!

If you want something simple just watch another KZreadr. There are so many good ones

Great video! I bought in Amazon a metal disc with a skewer that screws into such metal disc and acts a great spindle for the over or smoker! and so many applications like gyro meat or tacos al pastor!

Made this tonight. Amazing. Thank you

as a fellow Greek, I approve this

@@tseoman9841 Tzatziki first is new to me, but would be less messy so... For the "jairos" people I just ask them why they like to eat helicopter parts. The confused look on their face is priceless.

No lie, you actually make me want to cook more and eat my veggies. Not a small feat

Just made this. Excellent. My new go to BBQ dish.

Omg, made this, superb, only change was cooking it in the rotisserie on my Weber gas grill

Yay, the only way I can get a gyaro where I live is Arby's. It's pretty good but I'd rather learn how to make it myself.

It feels illegal being this early

EXACTLY this isnt supposed to happen…

Joshua as a Greek i have to say, that was fantastic, everything was perfect, the only thing i would change is the order, you put the tzatziki sause in the base of the pita then you put the meat on top,then tomato,onion, then potatos and the parsley. But these are details, the execution was perfect, we couln't do it any better.

100% approved! Beautifully made

Joshua - your timing is perfect! We were just getting ready to call Salem's for this. Do you think you could give us a recipe for the Lamb & beef???? Have a Magical Day ✨🌟 l💫

Lamb and beef is not Greek Gyros. Pork and chicken is what you will find everywhere.

"Imagine a life where instead of looking for problems, we look for solutions" Lmao got em

I am Greek with love Greek food because it’s amazing and you nailed that gyro

Extra tips red wine vinegar in tzatziki and add oregano on potatoes. i also love to add a bit of mustard sometimes on potatoes. it's a great combination with tzatziki. Also u can make the same recipe with chicken fillets and accompanied the chicken gyro with tomato lettuce and cocktail sauce.

Fun Fact: In the Southern Greece (like Athens), the basic toppings are these in the video. In the North (like the whole Macedonia), the common toppings are tomatoes, onions, potatoes, ketchup and mustard. Tzatziki or other sauces are charged extra.

I Still wonder whose idea was to add ketchup and mustard to gyro, it just ruins it for me

Best quote of the video: "Imagine a life where instead of looking for problems you look for solutions."

Coming from Chicago and going to various gyro stands and shops all over, i'm used to the ground meat cone type of gyro. Those tend to be easier and somewhat cheaper especially if you go all beef. Lamb is actually kind of hard to come by where I live, and it's expensive when you do find it. But all beef, seasoned to perfection baked in the oven and pressed immediately afterward...only thing I miss i the super thin shaved meat coming off of the "loaf". Homemade tzatziki with dill, homemade pitas.....almost makes me not visit my favorite shops :)

We used to go to Greece on holiday when I was a kid in the 00's and I will always remember the happy and hairy Gyros pita man ready to make us tired tourists some beautiful 1€ pitas... Now I am a grown, hairy man as well, and I too, make amazing pitas with a smile on my face. Thank you papa...
