This turned out great. I would recommend serving with Tzatziki sauce. In the future I am going to attempt to make four individual rolls instead of just one. The only change I made to the recipe was to use more dough than called for. I will be making this again and again and again!
I used ground turkey since I don't like lamb, but this was good. My husband loved it. However, it was kind of hard to roll the dough with all the stuff on it, and it was still doughy in the middle after cooking. So next time I'm going to make it more like a calzone--place the filling on one side of the dough and then just fold it over before I cook it.
I omitted the salt and made it like a calzone. I was unable to find ground lamb so I substituted ground pork. My husband and I enjoyed it.
EXCELLENT!! I am very critical on Authentic Gyros when I go out and have never had a recipe to make them at home. When I was short on time and saw this recipe - WOW was I surprised! Followed the recipe almost to the letter maybe a little less cumin and a little more oregano and awesome!! Always double the garlic!!
This is great. I used Pillsbury pizza dough. I also used ground beef. Left out the olives and zucchini because of hubby. You have to use fresh ground pepper with this-NOT the stuff you find on the table-real ground peppercorns! That is what makes the flavor. Easy and great recipe. Going to add to our favorite list. Oh yeah we used ranch dressing because I was lazy about making cucumber sauce. Worked well with the flavors as well. Thanks for the recipe.
Yumm-ee. I kind of made this my own recipe because of my pickiness. I used all ground sirloin no zucchini or olives and added extra feta. I also had some egg whites in the fridge that I brushed on the gyrolls to help the garlic powder really stick. I also used the cucumber sauce from Sean's falafel salad with the gyrolls. This is a definite keeper.
Great!!! We have tried both lamb and pork and enjoyed them both. I do think that the lamb gives it that true Greek flavour though. Try it with homemade tzatziki sauce. Great comfort food.
We really enjoyed this! We love gyros sandwiches and this was a nice alternative. I will try a different pizza dough next time. I used Pillsbury and it was okay but I would have liked it a little crustier. Trader Joe's has a pizza dough in their refrigerator section I will try next. This had great flavor. One of my daughters asked if we could have chunks of lamb next time instead of ground so I might try that too. Tzaziki Sauce is a must! Thanks for the treat!!
I made my own tried-and-true pizza crust so I had more than enough but I have to say that I'm relatively unimpressed. This is a recipie for a super-meat fan or a super-lamb fan -- one slice is a big gob of meat and the strong lamb flavor overpowers just about all the other ingredients. I also recommend using a very high quality feta because the cheaper stuff is a bit gritty when melted. I reduced the amount of salt (1 tsp instead of 2) as suggested by some posters here and found it needed salt. And ultimately I thought this lacked the requisite "zing" of gyros. It's definitley a recipie I will futz with but it's pretty ho-hum the way it is. My husband didn't even come close to finishing his small portion. Too rich and kind of "all one flavor." I'd say: half to 3/4 of the meat increase oregano and cumin keep salt at 2 tsp. maybe add lemon juice and/or mint to meat mixture high-quality feta increase olives and zuccinni.
