PIADINA RECIPE | AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FLATBREAD
Piadina is an Italian flatbread, a no-yeast soft dough made only with flour, water and extra virgin olive oil or lard. Just few ingredients to make a delicious bread for all of your favourite sandwiches. In Italy it's also known as Piadina Romagnola, for the name of the region where it's born, Romagna. The perfect Piadina has a soft texture and a slightly burnt surface. Unlike bread, Piadina has no leavening. Its dough needs only a short rest to make it softer. If you don't have time, it's not even necessary. That's why it's so easy and fast to make.

Steps:
- Place the flour in a bowl with the baking soda and salt. Mix well. Then add the oil and water. Mix everything for a few minutes until you get a soft but compact dough.
- Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then divide the dough into 6 portions of about 100/110 g each (3.5/3.8 0z).
- Work them a little with your hand on the work surface in order to have balls with a smooth surface and let them rest for another 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel. Roll out each ball with the help of a rolling pin, forming a disc with a thickness of 4/5 mm (about 0,20 inch) and a diameter of about 20/25 cm (8/10 inch).
- Cook the Piadina one at a time in a preheated non-stick pan. Turn the Piadina after a minute or when bubbles form. Repeat it twice, pricking it here and there with a fork. The piadina must cook about 2 minutes per side (4 minutes in total). Piadina is ready when it has taken on a slightly golden color and the characteristic small dark spots have appeared on the surface.

ITALIAN FLATBREAD SANDWICH (PIADINA) WITH SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE
Steps:
- For the dough: Combine the 1 3/4 cups flour with the baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk to eliminate any lumps. Pour in the milk and 1/4 cup of the olive oil and mix until a dough forms. Grease another large bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the dough, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Move the sausage to one side of the skillet, add the onions and season them with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In another large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat. Add the garlic, broccoli rabe and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rabe turns bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Portion the dough into 6 balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll the balls until about 1/4 inch thick. Place 2 rounds onto the hot griddle. Cook until browned on one side and bubbles begin to form, about 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer the flatbread to a baking sheet. Keep the griddle over the heat.
- Place some of the sausage filling and broccoli rabe on one half of each flatbread. Top each with the grated cheese (or 2 slices of cheese) and fold into a half moon. Place the sandwiches back on the griddle and weigh them down with a foil-covered brick or small cast-iron skillet. Cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining dough and sandwiches. Remove from the heat, slice in half and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to high.
- Put the lettuce in a bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss well.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured board, stretch and roll the dough into thin discs with a rolling pin. The dough may also be stretched by hand, but rolling will give you a thinner crust.
- Coat the rolled out dough with olive oil and place, oiled side down, on a very hot grill. This can be done indoors on a cast-iron stovetop grill pan that has been preheated over medium-medium high. When you start to see bubbles on the surface of the dough, turn it over. It should be slightly browned on the bottom. Brush each round with a generous tablespoon of the garlic paste and sprinkle with the thyme. Remove from the grill with tongs and top with the Caesar salad. Grate parmesan cheese on top, fold in half, and eat.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Peel the outermost layers of skin off the heads of garlic. Cut off the top 1/3 of the heads to open the cloves. Save the small pieces of garlic for another use (see Chef's Note). Put the heads, cut sides up, in a small baking dish and pour the olive oil over them. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover tightly, place in the oven, and roast until about 3/4 cooked, about 45 minutes. Uncover and return to the oven until the cloves begin to pop out of their skins and brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
- When cool enough to handle easily, squeeze the roasted garlic into a small bowl. Press against the skins very well to get out all the sweet roasted garlic you can. Add the oil from the baking dish and mix well until a paste forms. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week.
- Chef's Note:
- It is hard to have too much roasted garlic around. You can roast the little bits from the tips of the garlic heads. Put them in a separate small baking container, such as an individual custard cup. Season with salt and pepper, douse with olive oil, cover, and place in the oven to bake along with the whole garlic heads. Depending on their size, they will be soft and browned in about 1/2 the time needed for the whole heads. The little pieces make a good "cook's snack" while preparing dinner, or can be squeezed into tomato sauce or onto pasta.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill or grill pan. Carefully oil the grill or grill pan with a cloth dipped in a little olive oil. If using a grill, have the grilling surface 8 to 10 inches above the embers. Regulate the amount of coals under the grill so that it maintains a consistent medium-hot heat (the oil on the grill will begin to smoke).
- Prepare the chicken. Coat each chicken breast with the extra-virgin olive oil. Season each side evenly with a little salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side first, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook in the same manner another 4 or 5 minutes until the meat is slightly firm to the touch. Season 1 side evenly with the roasted garlic rub. Remove from the heat and reserve until cool. Cut the chicken with the grain into bite-size pieces. Reserve.
- Divide the dough into 6 balls. Working on a surface free of flour, roll each ball under your palm. As it rolls, it will stick slightly to the surface, creating tension that helps form a tight, round ball. Dust the work surface with flour, pat each ball down lightly, dust the tops with flour, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 15 minutes.
- With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle 8 or 9-inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal (to keep the dough from sticking).
- On a clean grill surface (use a wire brush then oil again as before) gently lay the piadine on the grill and cook until the bottom has set and is cooked, but not so well done that it is not pliable, about 4 minutes. Turn the crust and cook on the second side. The cooking time will vary with the heat of the grill. Remove crusts.
- Meanwhile, toss together the spinach, mozzarella, tomato wedges, red onion, Parmesan and chicken. Toss with vinaigrette to coat the greens and taste for seasoning with salt and pepper. Place the crusts on plates and divide the salad among them. Serve "open face." Diners should fold their piadine in half and eat without utensils!
ITALIAN FLATBREAD (PIADINA) WITH FONTINA AND PROSCIUTTO
Giada says, "Piadini is a lot like a pizza, except that the crust doesn't rise and it's typically cooked on a grill to give it a nice, smoky flavor and crunchy crust. You can top a piadina with anything you like. This sauceless combination is very typical of northern Italy, where piadini are especially popular."

Steps:
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of an upright mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly add 10 to 12 tablespoons water until the mixture forms a dough around the hook. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into disk shapes and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece of dough into an 8 to 10-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Brush each circle with the extra-virgin olive oil and grill for 4 minutes each side. Remove the piadina from the grill to cool slightly. Combine the ricotta cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread each piadina with 1/2 cup of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle the fontina cheese evenly over the ricotta cheese. Arrange 2 prosciutto slices on top of the cheeses. Cut each piadina into 8 wedges and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the chopped basil.
