Piadina

🥘 Ingredients

• all purpose flour 500 g
• baking soda 0.33 teaspoon
• salt 1 teaspoon
• extra virgin olive oil 80 ml
• ?lard 80 g
• water 220 ml

1. 1

   Place the all purpose flour in a bowl with the baking soda and salt . Mix well. Then add the extra virgin olive oil or, if you prefer, the softened ?lard . We used extra virgin olive oil.
2. 2

   Add the water . Mix everything for 2-3 minutes until you get a soft but compact dough. If the dough sticks to your fingers, add a sprinkling of flour again. Piadina dough must be soft but not sticky.
3. 3

   Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes . Then divide the dough into 6 portions of about 100-110 g each (3.5-3.8 oz).
4. 4

   Work them a little with your hand on the work surface in order to have balls with a smooth surface and let them rest for another 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel .
5. 5

   Roll out each ball with the help of a rolling pin , forming a disc with a thickness of ⅘ mm (about 0.20 inch) and a diameter of about 20-25 cm (8-10 inch).
6. 6

   Cook the Piadina one at a time in a preheated non-stick pan . Turn the Piadina after 1 minute or when bubbles form. Repeat it twice, pricking it here and there with a fork . The piadina must cook about 2 minutes per side (4 minutes in total). Piadina is ready when it has taken on a slightly golden color and the characteristic small dark spots have appeared on the surface.
7. 7

   Your homemade Piadina is ready to be stuffed. Arrange them one on top of the other covered with a cloth that will help keep them warm. Bring them to the table stuffed as you like with what you prefer!
