Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups 00 flour or all-purpose flour (200g)
- ½ cup warm water (120ml)
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a bowl, stir so everything is evenly mixed through.
- Make a well in the flour and add the water and olive oil. Stir everything together to form a dough.
- Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead to form a smooth ball (make sure not to over knead the dough it only takes a minute or so).
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap (cling film) and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat a large round skillet or frying pan on the stove. Divide the dough in four and roll each piece into a thin round flatbread shape (don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly round).
- Heat each flatbread one at a time on the skillet, once it’s puffed up and looks golden turn it over and cook on the other side. It should take around 2 minutes each side.
- Fill each flatbread with your desired fillings and fold in half.

Notes
- Using cups - If you're using cups to measure the flour make sure to spoon it into the cups instead of scooping or it'll be too tightly packed. Lightly level off any excess flour.
- Baking powder - you can leave the baking powder out if you need to I've made these many times without it and they are still delicious it just helps lighten the dough slightly.
- Rolling out - make sure you dust your work surface very lightly with flour and that there's not too much excess on the flatbreads before cooking.
- To keep them soft - place the Piadina flatbreads on a plate and wrap them with a clean kitchen towel to help keep them soft. This is a great tip if you're making them in advance.
