Instructions
- 1
To prepare the homemade Romagna piadina, first, pour the flour, salt, and baking soda into a bowl. Add the lard.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
