I love Chicken Gyros (or Chicken in a Pita). I rarely get a chance to get them, I haven’t been to a good Greek restaurant in years. Once a year I get one from John the Greek at the Bloomsburg Fair…

I start by making chicken souvlaki, ztatziki and if I have time, homemade pita bread.

Chicken in a Pita

To Assemble:
Layer an oven fresh pita with the chicken souvlaki, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and top with ztatziki.

The other day I sent Hubster and my father on a wild goose chase for pita bread. Apparently in my small-town, U.S.A., the grocery stores no longer sell pita bread. I was disappointed and excited at the same time. I just got some last week, but now I get to make homemade pita bread. Yum!!!!

Fresh Baked Pita Bread

I found this recipe and decided to give it a go…

I divided the dough into 6 balls and baked them at 450°F for 7 minutes. My baking stone is broken, so I took the advice to use an upside-down baking tray.
