Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup milk
½ cup margarine, at room temperature
½ cup Greek yogurt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Stir the milk, margarine, and yogurt together in a bowl.
  • Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and egg white in a large bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and work the mixture together with your hands until the dough separates from the sides of the bowl, adding flour or water as needed to get the right consistency, which will be neither sticky nor dry. Cover with a damp cloth and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 pieces and roll into balls. Roll and stretch each ball to about 1/8-inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
  • Lightly oil a cast iron skillet and place over medium-low heat. Cook the dough in the hot skillet until it begins to set, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Pierce the dough with a fork 3 to 4 times while it cooks. Wrap the finished pieces in a towel until ready to serve.

PIADINE ROMAGNOLE (ITALIAN FLATBREAD)



Piadine Romagnole (Italian Flatbread) image

This is a traditional recipe from my fathers family. There a many versions of them. For this reason I will give alternatives for the ingredients. Traditional it is eaten with Parma ham and rucola. You can fill it with cheese or whatever you like. These should be more cripy than mexican tortilla and should be eaten just after cooking. Don't store them tight, they would turn too soft. Fold the warm piadina and fill it with your favorite ingredients.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 piadina

Number Of Ingredients 6

500 g flour (4 cups)
75 ml olive oil (1/3 cup, original recipe with rendered lard but I use olive oil only)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
100 ml milk (1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon)
100 ml water (1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon)

Steps:

  • Work all together with food processor. Adjust humidity adding flour or water until dough is not sticky and can be rolled out easily.
  • Lest rest at least 60 minutes.
  • Cut into 8 slices and shape them into balls.
  • Roll out each ball until about 10 inches size. You will not need flour on the table.
  • Put the rolled out piadine on a tray using parchment foil to separate them .
  • Now heat up your skillet or an old non sticking fry pan to medium high.
  • Bake dry on the first side, check the underside, and when it looks done, flip it and bake the other side. The piadina should be pale, but with dark brown spots. Be careful not to burn it. During baking pinch them and roll them with the fork. In about 3-4 minutes they should be ready.
  • In the meanwhile roll out the second piadina.
  • Note: If you use milk it will be softer inside but you can replace it with water this depends on your choice.
  • Note: I work with to pans at the same time. When 4 pieces are ready we eat them. Then I prepare the next ones. I know, this is not chef friendly, but fresh done are much better.
