It doesn't toast it just warms it up enough so it's soft and doesn't break apart or crumble when they fold it or while you eat it. I know most people aren't use to being told they "have" to order something a certain way but believe me if you don't heat the flatbread it's not edible.

Flatbread should be stored either tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap, in a sealed container, or in a ziplock bag. Flatbread tastes best stored at room temperature, where it will last for three days.

For a quick stovetop option, use a skillet to steam your flatbread or pita. Add a few drops of water to the pan and heat it over medium. Place the bread in the skillet and cover it with a lid for 10-15 seconds. The steam generated will soften the bread without making it soggy.

Instructions: Medium 2 mins. Sprinkle both sides of the flatbread with a little water. Place under a pre-heated medium grill, turning once during heating. Serve warm.

Granted, you might be wondering if you can get away with serving only room temperature or even cold pita bread with this delectable dish. While you're more than welcome to do so, it does compromise the quality of the gyro plate since a nice heated piece of bread is by far better than cold.

Working in batches, place the rolled-out pitas directly on the hot baking baking sheet (I was only able to fit 2 at a time). Bake for 2 minutes on one side, and then, using a pair of tongs, carefully turn pita over to bake for 1 minute on the other side. The pita will puff nicely and should be ready.

The process involves laying the pita on a damp paper towel, sprinkling the pita with a few drops of water, and placing another damp paper towel on top. This trapped steam, when microwaved for 10-30 seconds, helps to soften the bread.

Heating up the bread in the microwave tends to warm it up and make it easier to cut because it puffs up more than before.
