Cooking Tips

Best thing to do is leave it for. That was a hot overnight.

Don’t have to go to crackers with this. You know, you can have bits of dill in there, a little lovely,

Don’t worry about that. Just use normal shortboard.

Because we’re making flatbread, it doesn’t have to rise. The raising agent in here is the self-raising flour.

We want to knead it for about a couple of minutes. Two minutes.

Now there’s no great need to wait all out or anything like that.

I always roll and cook it at the same time.

Not too hot. Not too hot at all. Look, you can see that flame.

You control the heat with this. You know, you don’t go too mad. It’s on low. We need to cook nice and steady.

Now there is no rush. You know, just take your time.

Do not have your pan too high. It wants to be hot enough to seal the chicken.

So we don’t have to do anything crazy with high heat

My only criticism, I wish I’d have put fresh mint in but I didn’t have any in the garden.

Serving Suggestions

When it comes out, it’s going on a plate with a tea towel on. It’s going on there and we’re going to put the tea towel over the top.

So there you are, that’s our Greek style chicken gyros and cucumber taziki in our homemade Greek flatbreads.

My only criticism, I wish I’d have put fresh mint in but I didn’t have any in the garden.
