Homemade gyros

I decided to finally try my hand at making homemade pita bread. Once again, my King Arthur flour cookbook came to my rescue with a fantastic whole wheat recipe.


The pitas are delicious on their own. It will be hard to eat store bought pita bread again ever! 
We were initially going to have steak and salad for dinner but only had two small steaks which was not going to feed all of us. I thought pitas + steak = a gyro (sort of). We had a bunch of Greek yogurt, cucumbers and garlic so that made the perfect accompaniment along with my grilled onions and red peppers.


Allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/organic-wheat-pita-with-fruit-salsa-recipe - click for recipe for the pita dough
