Ingredients FOR GREAKING
– oil to taste
PREPARATION:
- Separate all ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
- From the recipe for 2 portions you get 5 units of 22 cm each. Leftover bread can be frozen.
- This recipe can be made by hand, but is easiest in the mixer with the dough hook attachment.
PREPARATION:
Pan-fried bread – Piadina (Dough):
- Place the wheat flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a bowl and mix.
- Add the lard and mix well.
- Add 3/4 of the amount of water (see quantities in the ingredients) and mix well.
- Work the dough with a planetary mixer with the dough hook (optional) or work the dough with your hands, on a floured surface, to develop the gluten (piadina is a bread, so you have to work it a little because when forms the gluten dough, it relaxes). without tearing).
- The dough should be elastic, soft, moist and a little sticky. If necessary, add the rest of the water and a little more (the amount of water depends on the absorption capacity of the flour used).
- Grease the counter surface with oil or flour.
- Divide the dough into equal parts (5 units for every 2 portions). If you have a scale, weigh about 75-85 g each.
- Roll out the dough: form balls with the dough, leaving the surface very smooth and without cracks.
- Sprinkle a little flour on top.
- Cover with cling film and let the dough rest on the work surface for 15 minutes.
Pan-fried bread – Piadina – Modeling:
- Place 1-unit dough onto an open, floured plastic bag.
- Flour the dough on top.
- Take a round glass or refractory dish, line it with the other part of the plastic bag.
- Using a baking dish or plastic-lined baking tray, press the dough into a disc.
- Then, remove the plastic from the top, leaving the bread with just the bottom plastic.
- Roll out and adjust the shape with your hands, obtaining thin discs of 22 cm in diameter (but without leaving the dough transparent).
- Keep the plastic on the bottom.
- For the rest of the dough, follow the previous steps, stacking the loaves and always leaving them covered by the last shape.
- When finished, cover the last unit with a plastic bag or cling film.
- Then grill (this mixture will moisten if refrigerated raw).
Pan-fried bread – Piadina – Grilling (4 to 5 minutes per disc):
- Heat griddle/grill or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Grease with a drizzle of oil, use a brush or absorbent paper to avoid accumulations of grease.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, roll up foil leaving only one end.
- Place the disc in contact with the griddle or pan (the plastic will be on top).
- Leave to act for a few seconds, avoiding the plastic coming into contact with the plate or pan.
- Then remove the plastic.
- Cooking/grilling: as soon as bubbles form on the top and it is cooked on the bottom and slightly golden (estimated time 2 minutes), turn to cook on the other side and leave to rest for about another 2 minutes (the dough must not be crunchy and yes soft).
- Remove from the heat, place on a rack and finish toasting the other discs.
FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:
- Distribute the discs bread in a pan – piadina – on plates and stuffed as you prefer.
- Close in half and serve immediately.
- Leftover discs can be frozen and reheated once consumed.
