Italian Flatbread (Piadina)
Ingredients:​
​For 4 servings:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
4 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 cup milk at room temperature, plus more if needed
Preparation:
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Make a well in the center, add the olive oil and mix with a fork. Slowly pour in the milk and stir to shape a shaggy dough. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tbsp of milk or water at a time until all the flour is incorporated.
-
Place the mixture on a clean work surface and knead until a smooth dough is formed, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let rest 30 minutes.
-
Divide dough into 4 pieces and shape into a ball. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
-
Roll out each ball into rounds of approximately 8-10 inches. The dough must be as thin as possible. Prick the dough with a fork.
-
Heat a skillet on medium high heat and brush bottom of medium size frying pan with a little olive oil. When hot cook one flatbread at a time for about 1 minutes on each side. Flip when golden brown.
-
Stack the flatbread on a plate and cover with a dishcloth to keep warm and pliable. Serve warm with your favorite filling.
-
The flatbreads can be warmed in the microwave.
