Best Gyroll Recipes

GYROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meat with garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. When meat is almost done, add parsley and cook until the parsley wilts. Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool.
• Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle (about 18 inches by 12 inches), with the long side laid out left-to-right in front of you. Spread out feta cheese, zucchini and black olives evenly over the dough, leaving 3 inches from the edges of the crust uncovered. Spread the cooled meat mixture over the top, still leaving edges of dough uncovered.
• Starting with the edge closest to you, roll up the whole thing until it is all rolled up. You can do this by using the uncovered edge of dough at the end as a 'strip' to stick to the roll and seal it, making sure both ends are pressed down and sealed. Sprinkle with garlic powder and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then, reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

GROUND BEEF GYROLL

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the beef with garlic, onion and red pepper flakes until browned (about 10-12 minutes) drain fat.
• Add in oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese and chopped mushrooms; cook for about 2-3 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.
• If you are using homemade pizza dough, then separate into two even pieces.
• Roll out prepared pizza dough into TWO 11 x 7-inch rectangles.
• Sprinkle HALF the crumbled feta cheese (or mozza cheese if using) on the top of one crust, then HALF of the olives on top of the feta cheese, then spoon HALF of the beef mixture on top of the olives.
• Roll up starting at the long end, sealing both edges as you roll.
• Seal the seam across the roll and then tuck both edges under.
• Repeat with the remaining pizza dough and remaining fillings.
• Place the gyrolls on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Lightly brush with oil, then sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (these amounts do not have to be exact).
• Bake in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and continue baking for about 35 minutes more, or until golden.
