Without knowing the problem can’t work out the solution

[@dawnssful]

@@mthienk7377 True, I thought the same thing. It might be best to emphasize looking for the solutions, rather than staring down problems hoping they will go away. Yet when we emphasize solutions, I think at least, that we can all really enhance our creativity, and our confidence in our ability to look at things in a unique way. I know that when I look at solutions and don't consistently focus on my problems, then I really enhance my ability to problem solve and have faith in myself.

[@gullreefclub]

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.

Greek here. Pitas are supposed to not be super puffy. I like that you made the gyro without special equipment props for that. Tzatziki although everyone kinda does it different, it has some type of vinegar to it and no parsley. They sometimes put dill in it but I personally hate it. French fries are kinda the standard in most shops. It should come a lot cheaper than that in other countries but I guess ingredients are expensive where you live. Here in Greece you can kinda find gyros for 3.30€ and pretty good ones too

[@kevinprettyman1367]

America just does this thing where food sold in a restaurant is roughly 2 to 4 times the price it would be at home. The only gyros I have had the pleasure of eating were 8 USD per...as far as food here I would say that is worth it over most foods sold in restaurants

I see people commenting on every video that Josh should do a "but simple" or some variant of that, but like... that's kind of the antithesis of Josh's whole platform. His whole thing is that you can elevate food using proper technique, and doing a "but simple" doesn't really gel with that premise. There are no shortcuts. You want to make this recipe without spending all day in the kitchen? Use store bought pita and sautee your pork in slices. It's not rocket surgery. If Josh ever did do a "but simple" idea, I would want him to do like a PROPER version first in the initial JW style, then do a simplified version while he explains how each ingredient substitution/technique simplification makes the dish worse.

Perhaps an easier version of this would be to use a mixture of ground pork/lamb/beef and/or chicken with these seasonings, but cooking it using a Smash-Burger technique - producing a charred, lacey texture - since the majority of people don't have a rotisserie that can produce a continually charred surface exterior.

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.

@@marquisdelafayette3333 nothing at all. it’s just not what we eat in Greece. Lamb is more of a festive food here, especially on Easter or when we celebrate something, we may make roasted lamb. it’s not really and every day dish and definitely not a street food.

Josh, I am a bread maker and I have tried so many times to make pita on my stone and they would not puff up. I finally did it with your recipe and realized I was not giving them enough time to rise. I would flip that after one minute. I feel accomplished and will try the pork souviaki recipe next. Thank you.

Did you do 5 cups of flour

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.

[@lightman9935]

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.

how do you cut it properly?

He also could have saved some money by not adding PARLSEY to the tzatziki… wtf 😭

I love when KZbin 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...

[@keaneho9183]

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.

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!

[@buhbird4698]

Love the vids Josh! Was wondering if you could do more recipes with different types of meat like goat or lamb

[@Zathren]

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.

[@MrDrivingFaster]

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

[@andrewgee5667]

Just did this mate, very pleased. I like how you don't piss about with the information

[@minamartinez8131]

I made these last night - had to use beef roast because it was what I had on hand but wow! Definitely will be making it again with the pork butt.

[@davidsandy5917]

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

[@vinayakasanganeria85]

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

[@adam1660]

bro we shoulda have a dinner party so we can cook these recipes together

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

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

mmmmm I have chicken thighs that i was wondering what to season with, now I know! Perfect timing for this one. Thank you!! Even going to try Coconut milk yogurt tzatziki as well. EDIT: Made it this week and it turned out great - chicken thighs are a great meat for these flavors, and the plain coconut milk yogurt work great for the tzatziki - loL! Used about 3 cloves of garlic too much for my small batch of sauce, but I survived!
