http://zombeena.immensepots.com/ A blog by zombeena en http://zombeena.immensepots.com/2009/01/19/gyro.html gyro by bk STEP 1 Homemade Pita Bread Adapted from Brown Eyed Baker 3 cups flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 Tablespoon Honey 1 packet yeast (2-1/4 tsp) 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water, roughly at room temperature 2 tablespoons olive oil, vegetable oil, butter, or shortening Mix the yeast in with the flour, salt, as well as honey. Add the olive oil as well as 1 1/4 cup water as well as stir combined with a wooden spoon. All of the ingredients should form a ball. If some of the flour won't stick to the ball, add more water. Once all of the ingredients form a ball, place the ball on a work surface, such as a cutting board, as well as knead the dough on behalf of approximately 10 minutes. If you are using an electric mixer, mix it at low speed on behalf of 10 minutes (I used my kitchenAid mixer in speed 2) When you are done kneading the dough, place it in a bowl that has been lightly coated with oil. Form a ball out of the dough (I had to continue adding flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing/kneading until it came combined like a ball - it was too sticky otherwise)and place it into the bowl, rolling the ball of dough around in the bowl so that it has a light coat of oil on all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel as well as set aside to rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 90 minutes. (Tip from Good Eats as well as Sweet Treats: heat my oven to 175°F, turn it off, leave the door open on behalf of a few minutes to let some of the heat out, as well as then put the dough inside the oven to rise.) (while waiting on behalf of pita dough to rise start with STEP 2) When it has doubled in size, punch the dough down to release some of the trapped gases as well as divide it into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, cover the balls with a damp kitchen towel, as well as let them rest on behalf of 20 minutes. This step allows the dough to relax so that it’ll be easier to shape. While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If you have a baking stone, put it in the oven to preheat as well. If you do not have a baking stone, turn a cookie sheet upside down as well as place it on the middle rack of the oven while you are preheating the oven. This shall be the surface on which you bake your pitas. After the dough has relaxed on behalf of 20 minutes, spread a light coating of flour on a work surface as well as place one of the balls of dough there. Sprinkle a little bit of flour on top of the dough as well as utilize a rolling pin or your hands to stretch as well as flatten the dough. You should be able to roll it out to between 1/8 as well as 1/4 inch thick - 6 inches in diameter. If the dough does not stretch sufficiently you can cover it with the damp towel as well as let it rest 10 to 20 minutes before trying again. (pita bread used on behalf of gyros are usually thiner than pita pockets, so roll as thin as you can) Place discs on a lightly greased baking sheet as well as let rise, uncovered, until barely doubled in thickness, about 50 minutes. Open the oven as well as place as numerous pitas as you can fit on the hot baking surface They should be baked through as well as puffy at the end of 3 minutes. STEP 2 Roasted Leg of Lamb 1 (4 to 5-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed of visible fat. 5 cloves garlic, peeled as well as cut into 20 slivers 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper With a sharp knife, manufacture 20 slits across 1 side of the lamb as well as insert the garlic slivers. Place in a large non-reactive dish. In a bowl, whisk combined the oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, salt, as well as pepper. Pour over the lamb as well as rub evenly across the surface. Cover with plastic wrap as well as marinate, refrigerated, on behalf of 2 as well as up to 6 hours, turning occasionally. SKIP TO STEP 3 Remove from the refrigerator as well as let come to room temperature. Cook, turning occasionally . The an estimated all accurate way to determine doneness is with a meat thermometer: 110 degrees F (42 degrees C) is rare 120 degrees F (58 degrees C) is medium-rare 145 degrees F (68 degrees C) is medium-well Remove from the grill as well as transfer to a platter. Tent with foil as well as let rest on behalf of 12 minutes before carving ( I utilize the 12 minutes to bake my pita bread, that way both the bread & meat are hot when I prepare the GYROS) STEP 3 Tzatziki Sauce 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded as well as finely chopped (I chop it in food processor, as well as the remove excess liquid with paper towel) 1 cup plain yogurt 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon of minced mint leaves 1 teaspoon minced garlic In a medium bowl combine all of the ingredients as well as chill on behalf of at least 1 hour to permit the flavors to marry.
