Gyro bread

[Guest guest]

This turns out so soft and delicious. I'll post a tzicki recipe to go with

it next. You can make a meatless gyro, or use a soy meat product or whatever.

Sometimes we just dip the bread in the sauce. YUM AmyF

 

Gyro bread

 

1 cup milk

1/4 cup margarine

1/4 cup honey

1 package dry yeast (or 2 tsp.)

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup water -- warm 110-115 degrees

1 tsp sugar

4 C flour, + or - for consistency

 

Scald milk, remove from heat and add honey, margarine & salt to milk. Stir

until margarine melts. Cool.

In small bowl combine yeast, warm water and sugar. Stir until sugar

dissolves. Combine with cooled milk mixture.

 

In mixing bowl add 2 Cups of flour and liquid mixture. Mix until dough

forms, add flour in 1/2 C increments as needed (dough will be sticky). Knead

for 2

minutes, put in oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap until doubled (mine

never doubles).

 

Punch down and divide into 16 equal pieces (or however many, I'm not picky).

Roll each section into a circle no thicker than 1/3 " . Heat large skillet or

griddle (no oil or grease) over medium heat. Cook each for 15 seconds on each

side. Bread should be flexible. It cooks quite fast on each side.
