This is an Italian well known thin flatbread...
Ingredients: [for 4 people]
500gr[1pound] of flour
50gr [0.1pound] of lard [instead of lard you can use 5 spoons of extra-virgin olive oil]
Salt
A pinch of bicarbonate
Lukewarm water
Directions:
Arrange the flour with a “fountain” form [now I don’t know if you know what kind is, we say fountain, but is more similar to a volcano with a big crater, and inside the crater are placed the other ingredients, this in order to amalgamate better the ingredients]. Incorporate the lard or the oil, add salt and the bicarbonate. Helping yourself with the lukewarm water, mix the ingredients until you obtain a solid dough. Divide the dough in 8 round pieces, and let it rest under a serviette for about 3 minutes.
Heat up the baking tin [this can be made of terracotta, or cast ironic, or a modern one not adherent], spread the round pieces with the rolling pin, until you’ll obtain a disc of about 23cm[9inches] diameter, and 3mm[0.1inch] of height. Cook each side of it on the baking tin for a few minutes [Turn it can be difficult, I usually use a knife with a long blade, but you can use whatever you want.]. When it’s ready you can cut it in a half, and accompany the Piadina with a barbecue.
A piadina can be filled with everything, ham, salami, chicory and onions, chicory and cottage cheese…but as said can be filled with everything.
