A budget-friendly yet authentic Greek gyro featuring homemade pita bread, a vertical-roasted pork tower, creamy tzatziki, and crispy fries. This recipe focuses on proper technique to achieve restaurant-quality results at a fraction of the cost.
Make the pita dough by whisking lukewarm water, instant yeast, and sugar. In a separate bowl, mix bread flour and sea salt. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth. Let rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with an inverted baking sheet or pizza steel inside. Divide the dough into 8 balls (150g each), rest for 15 minutes, then roll into 7-8 inch discs. Bake each pita for 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and lightly browned.
Prepare the gyro meat: Slice the pork butt into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Create a spice paste by mixing oregano, paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, rosemary, 5 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Rub the paste thoroughly over the meat slices.
Assemble the meat tower: Use an apple or onion as a base, insert long skewers, and stack the meat slices. Roast at 400°F (205°C), rotating occasionally, for about 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155-160°F (68-71°C). Let rest for 15 minutes.
Make the Tzatziki: Grate the cucumber, salt it, and squeeze out all excess moisture using a strainer. Mix it with Greek yogurt, 3 cloves of grated garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Squeeze the cucumber dry: This prevents the tzatziki from becoming watery.
The double-fry method is essential for crispy French fries.
Wait to slice the meat until you are ready to serve to keep it juicy.
Soaking the red onions in water for 30 seconds removes their harsh bite.
For the pita, using a hot baking sheet or pizza steel mimics a traditional oven for better 'puffing'.
