Ingredients
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 250 milliliters Warm water
- 100 grams Low sodium cheese (optional for filling)
- 2 large Fresh tomatoes, sliced (optional for filling)
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 100 grams Mixed salad greens (optional for filling)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
Step 2
Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Step 3
Gradually add the warm water, mixing with a fork or your hand until a dough begins to form.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the kneaded dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.
Step 6
Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin, round disc that's approximately 8 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a dough disc to the skillet.
Step 8
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear and the piadine puff up slightly.
Step 9
Repeat the cooking process for the remaining dough discs.
Step 10
If desired, fill the cooked piadine with a mixture of low sodium cheese, fresh tomato slices, fresh basil leaves, mixed salad greens, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 11
Fold the piadine in half, enclosing the fillings, and serve immediately to enjoy them warm.
