Piadina is an Italian flatbread from the Emilia-Romagna region. The traditional recipe calls for lard in the dough which you can replace with a good extra-virgin olive oil. It is typically served stuffed with prosciutto and a local cheese calledSquacqueronebut any soft cheese will work. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 7 tablespoons lard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in water, a little at a time, then rub in lard until dough comes together in a ball.

  2. 2

    Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide dough into 6 pieces; roll out each piece to 1/16-inch thickness.

  3. 3

    Heat a dry, heavy skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each piece until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
