How to prepare the italian piadina recipe also known as flat bread at home?
Flatbread is a thin italian bread, called piadina, which is typically prepared in the Romagna region. It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water. The dough was traditionally cooked on a terracotta dish, although nowadays flat pans or electric griddles are commonly used.
The piadina is like a sheet of batter round in shape with a delicious topping that can be amongst the most varied and goes according to the tastes and desires of the gourmet who has to eat: so piadina can be stuffed with mozzarella, tomato and ham, or soft cheese and arugula, or even vegetables, cheese and meats, in short, the choice is unlimited.
Another curiosity about flatbreads is that they are usually sold immediately after preparation in specialized kiosks (called piadinerie in Italy) filled with a variety of cheeses, cold cuts and vegetables as said before, but also with sweet fillings such as jam or Nutella. There may be small differences depending on the zone of production. Piadine produced around Ravenna are generally thicker, while those produced around Rimini and the Marche region are thinner and the diameter is greater.
