Instructions
LA PIADINA DOUGH
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda, make a well in the middle and add the lard or olive oil, mix with a fork, then slowly add the milk and mix.
- When almost combined move to a flat surface and knead into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic and let rest 20 minutes.
- Divide dough into 4 balls, sprinkle a wooden board or flat surface with a little flour and place balls on top, cover with a tea towel and let rest 20 minutes. Roll out each ball to approximately 8-10 inches (20-25 cm)and very thin, almost paper thin. Prick the dough with a fork.
- Brush bottom of medium size frying pan with a little olive oil, heat on medium heat until hot, when hot place one Piadina at a time on the pan, and flip when golden, flip each side two times.
- Immediately fill cooked warm flat breads with desired fillings. Eat warm. Enjoy!
** Recipe can be doubled.
Notes
- If you wish you can use some whole wheat flour, I recommend not using more than 30% of the all purpose flour. In other words 75 grams / ½ cup + 1½ tablespoons whole wheat flour and the remaining will be all purpose flour.

- You can add fresh herbs to the dough, such as finely chopped fresh rosemary, oregano, thyme or even fresh parsley would work well. I would whisk it in with the flour. You could even add a little garlic or garlic powder for flavor.
- To store the flatbread, wrap them in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 days at room temperature. If stored in the fridge they will last 4-5 days. Re-heat for a minute or two before serving.
- The can also be frozen, wrap them well in plastic wrap then place in a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 4 months in the freezer.
