Tasty, but what helps later against the smell of garlic?
Who does not know and fear them?
The 🧄 flag after enjoying tsatsiki is as sure as amen in church.
In order not to drive away your fellow human beings, there are a few tricks that should help to keep bad breath under control.
What exactly, you can read further down in the article.
That's how it's done:
You only need a few ingredients:
Pita Bread:
250 grams of wheat flour
0.5 tsp salt
7 grams of dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
150 ml water, lukewarm
20 ml olive oil
Tzatziki:
400 g cucumber
400 g Greek yoghurt (10% fat)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
Some lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, chopped
10 g dill, chopped
The preparation is so easy:
For the pita breads:
mix flour, salt, dry yeast and sugar in a bowl.
Pour in the water and knead into a dough using the dough hook of a hand mixer.
Knead in the olive oil with your hands until you get a homogeneous dough.
Cover and let rest in a warm place for at least 45 minutes.
For the tsatsiki:
clean the cucumber, wash, halve lengthwise, deseed and grate.
Then press the excess water out of the cucumber with a clean kitchen towel.
Whisk together the yogurt, salt, pepper, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl.
Fold in the cucumber and dill.
If necessary, season again with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Knead the risen dough again on a work surface dusted with flour, divide into 4 portions and roll out thinly with a floured rolling pin.
Heat some oil in a pan.
Carefully brown the flatbreads on both sides.
Serve the pita bread warm or keep warm in the oven.
Tip: the finished tsatsiki should sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours to develop its full aroma.
This recipe should not be missing from any Greek menu: pita breads with tsatsiki.

Here's how to counteract a garlic plume:
Since the smell of garlic comes "from within", brushing your teeth unfortunately does not bring any relief.
But these home remedies:
Herbs:
essential herbs such as sage, mint or parsley can neutralize the smell of garlic when eaten.
Important: chew well and for a long time!
Ginger:
the essential oils have the same effect as chewing herbs.
Tip: if ginger is too spicy for you, you can also use ginger candy or candied ginger.
Milk:
may temporarily reduce the sulphurous and foul-smelling compounds in garlic.
Apples:
neutralize the sulfur bonds and ensure fresh breath.
By the way, you can get rid of the smell of garlic on your hands with a lemon juice and salt scrub.
