A gyro sandwich is a savory delight hailing from Greece, featuring succulent slices of seasoned meat, often pork, chicken, or lamb, roasted on a vertical spit. Tucked in a warm pita, it’s adorned with fresh veggies, tangy tzatziki sauce, and sometimes feta cheese, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. In this class, you will learn to make homemade flat bread filled with lamb and tzatziki sauce.
