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.

Naan Bread

2 Cups Flour (I used 1 cup white and 1 cup bread)
1/2 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Butter - Cold and cut into pieces
1/2 Cup Milk
Water - If needed.  I needed about 4 tbsp.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar.  Add the butter and using a fork or a pastry cutter mix together.  Gradually add in the milk and combine.  If needed, add in a little water at a time till you get a consistency that holds together but it's too wet.

Lightly oil your counter and knead dough for about 10 minutes.  Set aside covered with a damp towel for 30 minutes.

Cut dough into 4 even pieces.  Roll dough out and keep folding it over itself.  Dough should be sort of thin.  Mine was a little thinner than 1/4 inch and the shape is up to you.  Mine ended up being sort of rectangle.

In a pan over medium / high heat add about 2 tbsp EVOO and place the rolled out dough.  It cooks fast, maybe 1-2 minutes on each side.  It will bubble up and blister.  It burns FAST so keep an eye on it.

I used mine as a flat bread pizza base but you can eat as is or put herbs in the dough.  Enjoy. #Cheftainment
