dinner - pita & chicken gyros


can i just tell you something - I MADE PITA BREAD, from scratch, all by myself! yes, yes i did. and then, i made it into chicken gyros! go me!

i found the recipe for chicken gyros here (click) and thought it sounded absolutely delicious with the tzatziki sauce, plus we had all the ingredients needed. then as i read through the recipe and came across the link to the homemade pitas (click), i knew i had to make them.

after living in israel for a year and a half, i have a fond connection to pita bread -- especially fresh, homemade pita bread -- and i can say these turned out wonderful! we have quite a few of them leftover and i am thinking of making some hummus soon to go with them... mmmm, another israeli delicacy!

don't be intimidated by how long the pita recipe says it will take (10 min + 90 min + 20 min + 45 min), it's mostly waiting around for the dough to rise. start early in the day and you'll do fine! i sure did! :)
