Grilled Piadine - Italian Flat Bread Recipe
We live in Le Marche & around every corner you will find Piadine or crescia. Piadine is an Italian flat bread – everyone & town has a different take on this. This recipe varies greatly – some add eggs, baking soda, &/or milk. Ask five Marchigiani & you’ll get six different recipes! Here is Jason’s version. Always delicious & perfect with pecorino & a thinly sliced prosciutto!
(Sorry this one is in grams)
- 15g Strutto (pork fat)
- 350g Ferina (flour)
- Aqua (water)
- pinch Sale (salt)
- Combine flour & salt.
- Cut the fat into the flour.
- Pour onto cutting board & make a well in the center. Enough tepid water to make a smooth dough.
- Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Take golf ball size chunks of dough, roll into circle.
- Grill both sides over hot coals on the fire.

Any suggestions? I found it slightly addictive.-COLLAPSE
