Piadina (Italian Flatbread)


Ingredients:
2 Cups - Bread Flour
2 tsp - Kosher Salt
1 1/2 tsp - Baking Powder
1/3 Cup - Lard (I used a combo of Crisco and Bacon Fat)
1/4 Cup - Water (possibly more)
1/4 Cup - Greek Yogurt
* Various Spices or Seasonings

In a food processor combine flour, salt and baking powder.  Pulse to combine. Add in lard and pulse to combine.

In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup water and the yogurt and stir to mix together.  Add to the flour mixture and pulse to combine. May have to add additional water, a little at a time if dough is not coming together. *Add spices or seasonings.

Knead dough on (un-floured) counter for about 1-2 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not sticking to counter. Separate dough into 4 balls, set aside and cover w/ towel for about 15 minutes.

Heat a cast iron skillet over med - high heat.

Roll out eat dough ball to about a 9-10" diameter and about 1/4" thick. Poke several times (dock) with a fork and place in the dry skillet. Cook for about 1 - 1 1/2 minute on the first side. Flip over and cook about 1 minute on the other side. Remove and put on a plate and cover w/ a towel while you cook the other dough.

Perfect for a flatbread sandwich or use w/ dips or hummus.

* Spices or seasonings like onions or peppers could be added to the dough to change the flavor.

Enjoy.
