Doner Kebab -- anyone have recipe for the bread

It's not a gyro, it's not a schwarma, it's a doner kebab (the o should have umlauts), the official fast food of Germany.  Does anybody know an authentic way to make this bread? It's a Turkish transplant to Germany.

Are you looking for Dürüm ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_tortilla ), flat pitas or the UFO looking (baby bump) pitas?   (It's only a mater of how thin you roll them out.)  Basic white yeasted dough.  Low hydration.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doner_kebab

The first time I had the meat it was stuffed into pocket or pita bread, midday in Mosul '84 and with Squash pickles included inside.  I've been working on those pickles this week.  Mine are more yellow than orange.   Maybe I'll whip up a batch,  Floyd posted  a pita recipe.

Fresh pickles, black olives, shredded green stuff, tomato slices, herbed yoghurt dripping out the ends. yum.  I have some mystery sausages I could cut diagonally thin and have a bit of fun frying up.  :)

If so, there are lots of recipes that come up in a Google search. Haven't tried any of them, though.

Best of luck!
