Homemade Piadinas

Ingredients for the dough

• 500 g wheat flour
• 125 g of AIRA clarified butter
• 170 g lukewarm water
• Salt
• 1 dessert spoon of baking soda

Ingredients for the filling (to taste)

• Tres Viajeros or Pambre cheese
• Cooked ham
• Lettuce
• Tomato

Step by step

1. Prepare the dough

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, AIRA clarified butter and baking soda. Knead by hand, adding the water in three stages and gradually incorporating it into the mixture. Continue kneading on a work surface until you have a smooth, even and pliable dough.

2. Leave to rest

Place the dough in a bowl, cover and leave to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until it reaches the right consistency.

03. Roll out the piadinas

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out each portion with a rolling pin to make a thin piadina, approximately 2 mm thick. Trim the edges with a knife if needed to achieve a more even shape.

04. Cook in the pan

Heat a non-stick frying pan without adding any fat. Cook each piadina for about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden.

05. Fill and enjoy

Fill the piadinas with your favourite ingredients and add Tres Viajeros or Pambre cheese for a special touch. For melted cheese, return the filled piadinas to the pan for another minute. Ready to serve and enjoy!
