Knead briefly and leave to rest. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.To make the ‘gyros meat’, mix all of the ingredients, except the tofu, in a large bowl. Carefully fold the tofu into the marinade. Spread the tofu out evenly on a large baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. The bits at the edges will crisp up while the centre of the tray will stay soft. When serving, ensure everything is tossed together so everybody gets a mixture of soft and crispy bits.Meanwhile, make the chips. Toss the oven chips with the oregano, garlic, salt and oil in a large bowl. Spread out on a large baking tray in a single layer. Cook alongside the tofu in the oven, according to the packet instructions. Work out timings so the chips are ready at the same time as the tofu – for example, if the chips take 20 minutes to cook, put them in 10 minutes after the tofu.While the tofu and chips are in the oven, cut the flatbread dough into 4–6 pieces and roll out on a lightly dusted work surface into 5mm/¼in thick ovals. Fry each flatbread in a large, dry frying pan until brown on both sides. Keep warm under a clean tea towel until all the flatbreads are cooked and everything else is ready. The steam created under the tea towel makes them more pliable – perfect for wrapping around the fillings!Serve the ‘gyros meat’, flatbreads and chips along with the toppings, if using, for everyone to help themselves.
