Piadina Recipe

Piadina

Before I come across this recipe I didn’t know that Italians also had flatbread. Piadina or piada is a thin Italian flatbread, typically prepared in the Romagna region (Forlì-Cesena, Ravenna and Rimini). It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water (source: wikipedia).

The recipe is quite simple and basic, and easy to prepare and eat! I made extras and froze them.

Adopted from An Italian Cooking in the Midwest

Ingredients

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon lard (I used olive oil)

Pinch of salt

Water

Method

1.      Knead the flour and salt with the lard (oil) and enough water to make a smooth and pliable dough.

2.      Form a ball, wrap in plastic and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes

3.      Divide the dough into two and form two round balls. Flatten and roll until about a ¼ inch thick 

4.      Cook on a hot non stick pan, turning often and flattening air pockets as they form.
