Ingredients

  • 500 g Flour
  • 60 g Lard
  • 220 g Water
  • 10 g Salt
  • 1 pinch Baking Soda

Instructions

  1. 1

    To prepare the homemade Romagna piadina, first, pour the flour, salt, and baking soda into a bowl. Add the lard.

  2. 2

    Start kneading by hand, adding lukewarm water 5 ml at a time. Continue kneading in the bowl until the flour has absorbed the water.

  3. 3

    Then, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth and homogeneous. Cover the dough with a bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    At this point, using a rolling pin, divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Form the pieces into balls, rolling the dough on a floured surface.

  5. 5

    Cover them again and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, place a frying pan on the stove. Take the first ball and flatten it with your hands on a floured surface. Then, roll it out with a rolling pin, maintaining a round shape. You will obtain a thickness of 2-3 mm and a diameter of 22-24 cm.

  6. 6

    As soon as the pan is well heated, transfer the piadina into the pan, spreading it well. Rotate it with your hand to ensure even cooking. After about 3 minutes, turn it over using a spatula.

  7. 7

    Cook it on the other side for a couple of minutes until it is well browned. Transfer it to a plate or cutting board and continue cooking the other ones, stacking them one on top of the other.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust the salt according to the salt content of the preserved ingredients.

Romagna piadina, with its soft crust and authentic flavor of tradition, is an experience that deserves your attention and care. Enjoy it with those around you, because food is always better when shared.
