#17 of Italian Forgotten Classics: Piadina Romagnola (Emilia-Romagna)
In Emilia-Romagna, there’s a bread so thin you can fold it like a napkin,It’s called Piadina — and it was born for hunger that couldn’t wait.
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 piadine):
• 500 g (4 cups) 00 flour• 60 g (4 tbsp) lard (or replace with olive oil if preferred)• 150 g (⅔ cup) warm water• 70 g (⅓ cup) whole milk• 10 g (2 tsp) fine salt• 1 pinch baking soda
Traditional Fillings (but use what you love):• Prosciutto di parma DOP• Squacquerone cheese• Fresh arugula (rucola)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda.
2. Add lard and work it in with your fingers until the mixture feels sandy.
3. Pour in room tempo water and milk. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
4. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each one out thin — about 2–3 mm (as thin as you dare).
6. Cook on a hot, dry griddle or pan. Flip after about 1–2 minutes per side, or when light brown spots appear.
7. Serve warm, folded around your favorite filling.
