Piadina (Thin Italian Flatbread)
Piadina (plural: piadine) is an Italian flatbread.
Ingredients
- 12 oz all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp table salt
- ¾ tsp baking powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½–¾ cup water
Instructions
-
1Pulse the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until blended.
-
2Add the oil and pulse a few times to blend.
-
3Start the processor and add the water a little at a time until the dough comes together.
-
4Remove the dough to a well floured counter top and knead a few times, shaping it into a round ball and adding flour as needed.
-
5Divide the dough into four pieces and form each into a tight ball.
-
6Cover all with some plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
-
7After the rest period, roll each piece into a 9 inch round.
-
8Heat a dry 10-inch cast iron frying pan until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates.
-
9Dock (perforate) one of the rounds with a fork to prevent the formation of bubbles.
-
10Cook the round in the dry pan until the bottom has a few brown spots, 1½–2 minutes. Keep the docking fork handy to knock down bubbles as they form.
-
11Flip the round and repeat the browning step as above.
-
12Remove to a warm plate and gently fold in half. Cover to keep warm.
-
13Repeat the last four steps with the other rounds.
-
14Fill each with the foods and condiments of your choice and enjoy.
