FLATBREAD RECIPE FOR GYROS RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine salt, whole wheat flour, and 3 cups all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Whisk yeast, sugar, and 1¼ cups warm water in a medium bowl and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in yeast mixture, then 2 Tbsp. oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms; turn out onto a work surface and knead dough, dusting with all-purpose flour as needed, until dough is smooth, firm, very elastic, and no longer sticky, 8–10 minutes. Place in an oiled large bowl, cover, and let sit in a warm spot until doubled in size, 60–75 minutes.
• Punch down dough, turn out onto work surface, and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball; place on a lightly floured rimmed baking sheet. Dust tops of balls with flour; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm spot until nearly doubled in size, 45–60 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium-high.) Working with 1 ball of dough at a time and keeping remaining balls covered, roll out on a floured surface to a 7" round. Grill until puffed and blistered in a few spots but still soft, 45 seconds per side.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be made 1 day ahead. Let rise before proceeding. Cover and chill. Flatbread can be cooked 30 minutes ahead. Let cool slightly, then wrap in foil and keep warm in a 250° oven.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, mix together the water, 2 cups of flour, yeast, olive oil and salt. If the dough isn’t coming together and clearing the sides of the bowl, sprinkle in more flour, a couple tablespoons at a time until it clears the sides and bottom of the bowl. Knead the dough for 5 minutes in the machine, or 8-10 minutes by hand. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until doubled, about one hour. Divide the dough into 6-8 pieces and let it rest, covered with plastic wrap, for 10 minutes. Roll out the pieces of dough into 6-8 inch circles, as evenly as possible. Dry fry them on a hot skillet or electric griddle for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are puffed a bit with some browned spots. If they are taking longer to cook, increase your heat so that they don’t dry out. Stack the cooked flatbread on a wire rack under a clean tea towel to keep them soft. Store in a plastic bag after they have cooled.
