Whole Wheat Piadinas Or Italian Flat Bread Food

PIADINA - ITALIAN FLAT BREAD FOR EVERYTHING!

Steps:

• In a large bowl place all dry ingredients, mix well. Make a well and add oil and water. Slowly incorporate the flour into the liquid until it forms a dough. If you need to add more water, add a tablespoon at a time until the dough is easy to handle.
• Knead for a short time until dough is smooth. Cut into 4 or 5 pieces. Roll out thin to about an 8" circle (the thinner the better).
• Heat a large skillet on a high flame, when hot reduce heat, brush with oil and place flat bread in skillet, prick bread with a fork. Turn over brush with more oil and cook other side. The bread will cook quickly, when done remove and repeat steps with rest of bread.
• Very good to eat with sauteed greens such as escarole. This recipe makes about four or five 8" to 10" Piadinas.

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in water a little at a time. Rub in lard until dough comes together in a ball.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into 6 pieces; roll out each piece to 1/16-inch thickness.
• Heat a dry, heavy skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each piece until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

PIADINA ROMAGNOLA (ITALIAN FLAT BREAD)

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.

HOMEMADE PIADINAS (ITALIAN FLATBREAD)

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Drop the shortening into the flour mixture and use your hands to work it into the flour until there are no large pieces left.
• 2. Make a well into the center of the mixture and pour in the water. Stir with a spatula or your hands until the dough is roughly formed.
• 3. Turn the dough out onto the counter or a large cutting board and knead for 8-10 minutes until it forms a soft and uniform ball.
• 4. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes. The dough can also be refrigerated for several days.
• 5. When ready to cook, divide the dough into 6-8 pieces (6 for small ones or 8 for large). Shape each pieces into a ball.
• 6. Use a rolling pin to roll them out thinly. About 9 inches around and 1/8" thick. Prick them with a fork so they don't puff up too much.
• 7. Set a cast iron skillet over medium to high heat (I used a non stick skillet and it worked just fine too). When the pan is really hot start cooking the piadinas. Cook them one at a time for one to two minutes per side or until toasted brown spots start forming.
• 8. Transfer to a clean dish towel and cover them to keep warm. They are best eaten right away but they will keep well in a plastic bag on the counter for a couple days.
• 9. Fill with your desired filling or eat with hummus!

WHOLE WHEAT PIADINAS OR ITALIAN FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients in the order given. Stirring well between each item. You will need to knead it a bit by had at the final mix but do not over do it. Just a minute tops. Work fast & keep the dough tender.
• 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.
