Piadina - Italian Flatbread

Servings: 8
Author: Christopher Kosovich

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 10.5 ounces all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons 5 grams baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon 3 grams fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • Sandwich fillings of your choice

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt to combine.
  • Using a fork, stir in the olive oil. Pour in the water, and using a wooden spoon, stir until the mixture forms a rough dough. Turn out onto a clean counter (you do NOT need to flour it beforehand). Knead the dough a few times until it becomes smooth.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Take a ball of dough and starting at the center, gently press it out into a circle using your fingertips.
  • Switch to a rolling pin and gently finish rolling it out into an 8-inch round.
  • Pierce the surface a few times with the tines of a fork. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough.
  • Place a formed piadina in the preheated skillet, and let it cook until golden with some dark or charred spots on the underside (it may also puff up a little).
  • Flip the piadina and cook until the other side is golden with a few dark spots as well.
  • Serve warm the sandwich fillings of your choice.
