Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Large frying pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • 600 grams flour
  • 300 milliliters water
  • 70 grams extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 grams salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and create a dent in the middle.
  • Start pouring the water and mixing. When it becomes heavier, start kneading with your hands. Knead for a few minutes and then add salt. Keep kneading for a minute more and add oil.
  • Knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms. This might take some time but is important to create a good dough for making piadina.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a cloth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll them into balls. Heat a large frying pan (two to make it faster) over medium-high heat with just a small amount of oil.
  • Roll out the balls into thin circles and start cooking them.
  • If cooking the piadina without a filling, cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • If cooking with the filling, cook each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Lower the heat. Then add the filling on one half of the piadina while still on the pan. Fold it in half and, cook for some seconds and remove from heat.
  • Cook all the piadina and serve.
