(Disclaimer, I'm using my own measurments for some things, because I'm not huge into measurements for cooking. Apply the seasonings to your liking)
Gyro Pork marinade:
1 chunk pork cut from tenderloin purchased at costco
approx 3 tbsp salt
approx 1 tsp paprika
small sprinkle of pepper
vinegar (suggested - apple cider vinegar)
slice the pork very thin and lay in single file in a large container such as glass pyrex
mix the salt paprika and pepper, sprinkle evenly over the pork
pour vinegar over pork and seasonings enough so the pork is covered
leave in fridge for at least 2 hours
cook in large frying pan until cooked through and browned on both sides
Tzatziki Dip:
mix sour cream, greek yogurt, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, dill and garlic in large bowl
add cucumber and stir well, making sure all flavours are mixed up
chill for at least 2 hours
Homemade Pita Bread:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 cup of warm water
4 cups of bread flour
2 teaspoons of salt
1 cup of warm water
1 tablespoon of olive oil
with a bread maker, layer 1 1/2c warm water, salt, sugar, olive oil, flour then yeast. put on dough setting, then follow the following instructions for baking
instructions from website:
Dissolve in the yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup of warm water and set aside, covered, for 15 minutes. Dissolve salt in the remaining 1 cup of warm water. In a large mixing bowl, add flour and make a well in the center. Add yeast mixure and salt water. Knead with hands for 10 minutes in the bowl. Add olive oil and continue to knead until all oil is absorbed. Shape into a ball in the bowl, cover, and place in a warm area to rise until doubled in volume, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down the dough and knead for 5 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), and lightly oil baking sheets.
Take pieces of dough slightly larger than an egg and roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of 3/8 to 1/4 inch. (For larger or smaller pita bread pieces, take more or less dough). Prick the bread with a fork in several places.
Place on baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) on the lowest oven rack for 2-3 minutes, then turn the pitas over and bake for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a tray covered with a clean dishtowel, with another clean towel on top. When thoroughly cooled, pitas can be stored in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or frozen.
Before using, brown in a lightly oiled frying pan for a few minutes until browned on both sides.
With all these ingredients, spread the pita on a plate, layer with cooked pork, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki. Last step, eat!
