Margherita Piadine Recipes

PIADINA RECIPE | AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Place the flour in a bowl with the baking soda and salt. Mix well. Then add the oil and water. Mix everything for a few minutes until you get a soft but compact dough.
• 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 0z).
• 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. Roll out each ball with the help of a rolling pin, forming a disc with a thickness of 4/5 mm (about 0,20 inch) and a diameter of about 20/25 cm (8/10 inch).
• Cook the Piadina one at a time in a preheated non-stick pan. Turn the Piadina after a 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.
