Difficult to categorize the flatbread, although in fact just another form of bread, flatbread is excellent either alone or padded, can be a sweet, and its mix you can find an endless variety of recipes.

You will present the recipe for "Classic", recalling that the piada be specifically prepared and tasted hot, hot from the grill.

Ingredients for four people:

500 grams of flour
3 / 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
250 grams of milk or warm water (with milk becomes softer)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt


Dough:

Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, the 'oil and warm milk. The dough should be firm but workable, knead for about 10 minutes.

Form 8 balls the size of an egg (100 g about one o'clock), at this point let rest under a towel for about half an hour.

Working briefly each loaf, lay them out on a pastry board, rolling pin, flouring often, so that the flatbread does not stick, making discs of about 25 cm in diameter and a thickness of about 5 / 6 mm, remember that during the cooking grows (for those prefer to draw the thinner disks 3 / 4 mm).

Cooking time:

Important stage of cooking, text or cast iron plate (maybe the non-stick pan) must be very hot. Just post the text on the flatbread, is perforated with tines of a fork (to improve the internal cooking) and is often rotated on itself, without ever looking back, possibly with the aid of a spatula long. Leave only 2 / 3 minutes, then turn and finish cooking the other side.

The optimum cooking piada should be light in color, creamy white with bubbles small / medium burnished almost burnt, in fact, a quick and uniform cooking, produce a piada soft inside with a thin crust on the outside.
