I don't know how it happened. I found pita bread that is actually pita pocket bread and then
somehow my brained must have turned to pita because when I unloaded the groceries at home I realized I had grabbed flatbread pitas! I couldn't wrap my pita brain around serving pita sandwiches with that thick flatbread, so I had to adapt: we made Greek Pita Pizzas! I was so proud of my kids' adventureousness (uh-oh, that word is underlined in red)! Granted, the peperoncinis and kalamata olives were not found on the kids' pizzas, but at least they had the tomatoes! Baby steps, right? The marinated chicken was heavenly! We filled in with cheese sticks (split up, of course) and parmesan cheese and baked them in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Then we dipped (if you're a kid) and smothered (if you're me) with the cold cucumber sauce. For some reason I kept calling my kids Nic or Nicki and saying, "there's a hole in this kek!" Thanks Nanna, for this Greek party in my mouth!
NICE POST, YEE HAW!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was a party in my mouth, too. I didn't think of doing it pizza style. I did mine on sandwich thins. It was like flavor on steroids! Good job adding a picture of something we had in a kit. Save that photo, nice one!
p.s. did you see the profiles I did on everyone in the sidebar? :) Just to get an idea... he he
Oh, I forgot to mention that I didn't take this picture, but found it online. It is very close to what ours looked like. I won't do that in the future!

ReplyDeleteYour experience with flat pitas is so funny, because I had trouble locating the pocket pitas for Cooking Day #4. (Pocket Pitas used to be the only type you could find!) I checked at Sams Club, Costco, Winco without success, and at Maceys, I crawled down to the back of the lowest shelf, and found some. I was excited, but on cooking day we discovered mold was forming on most of them. We returned those, but couldn't find any more. Adapting the recipe into a pizza was brilliant. By the way, it can also be turned into a salad by adding croutons. I agree that a flat bread type of sandwich would have been too thick. I am thinking flour tortillas would work, even though not authentic.
