This recipe started because I was looking through some photos of our trip to Greece this summer and suddenly had a craving for gyros. I had no pita around, so I decided to make this flatbread! You’d think it would be complicated, but it’s literally the easiest and quickest bread recipe ever. We just combine flour, yogurt, olive oil and a little salt, and within 10 minutes, you get a delicious wholegrain and high-protein flatbread!
I added some tzatziki, shredded tofu and some veggies. It’s so versatile, you can really top it with anything. In the end, it didn’t resemble so much of a gyro anymore, but it was so delicious and incredibly nourishing, with 33g of protein per serving.

Filling

Instructions

- Divide the dough in half. Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece into a circular shape, approximately 0.5cm thick.

- For the tzatziki, place the grated cucumber into a clean cloth and press to squeeze out the excess water. Combine the cucumber with the minced garlic, yogurt, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Add the shredded tofu to a pan on medium heat with the cumin, oregano, and paprika. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- To assemble your meal, spread the tzatziki on the flatbread, then add the tofu, tomato, onion, olives, rocket, and bell pepper. Enjoy your high-protein flatbread!
