Piadina Romagnola
A traditional Romagnola flatbread, this thin Italian wrap is typically filled with savory prosciutto, creamy squacquerone cheese, and fresh arugula. It's a simple yet delicious dish perfect for a quick meal or snack.
🧂 Ingredienti
- 300 g All-purpose flour(You can also use '00' flour for a finer texture.)
- 60 g Lard or extra virgin olive oil(Lard is traditional and provides a distinct flavor and texture. Olive oil is a good alternative.)
- 150 ml Warm water(Adjust slightly if needed to form a cohesive dough.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 g Prosciutto crudo(Thinly sliced.)
- 150 g Squacquerone cheese(A soft, fresh, spreadable cheese. If unavailable, a creamy ricotta or mascarpone can be substituted, though the flavor will differ.)
- 100 g Fresh arugula(Washed and dried.)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the lard or olive oil. Gradually add the warm water while mixing with your hands or a dough hook until a cohesive, soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a very thin circle, about 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) in diameter and 2-3 mm thick.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Heat a dry, heavy-bottomed skillet, griddle, or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat (no oil needed). Once the pan is hot (a drop of water should sizzle and evaporate instantly), carefully place one piadina onto the hot surface. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until puffed in places and lightly golden brown with characteristic brown spots. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Immediately after cooking, lay a piadina flat. Spread a generous layer of squacquerone cheese over one half, then top with slices of prosciutto and a handful of fresh arugula. Fold the other half of the piadina over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
