WHOLE WHEAT PIADINAS OR ITALIAN FLAT BREAD

• The dough should be soft but easily rolled out. You may need to add a bit of flour or water depending on the weather and flour you are using.
• Cut into 10-12 pieces. Roll out thin on an oiled surface, I use either olive or coconut oil depending on the weather. Coconut solidifies at 76 degrees.
• Create disks aproximately 8 -10" round.
• Prick the top of the bread with a fork and fry in a lightly oiled skillet or on a grill. These work well on the outdoor grill if they are oiled well.
• They cook fast and should be tender.
• Serve with any dish. I love them with soups in the winter and salads or grilled veggies in the summer.
