ITALIAN FLATBREAD (PIADINA) WITH FONTINA AND PROSCIUTTO



Italian Flatbread (Piadina) with Fontina and Prosciutto image

Giada says, "Piadini is a lot like a pizza, except that the crust doesn't rise and it's typically cooked on a grill to give it a nice, smoky flavor and crunchy crust. You can top a piadina with anything you like. This sauceless combination is very typical of northern Italy, where piadini are especially popular."

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus extra for seasoning
1 stick butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound whole milk ricotta cheese
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from about 2 small lemons)
Freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces fontina cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced-
1 cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of an upright mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly add 10 to 12 tablespoons water until the mixture forms a dough around the hook. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into disk shapes and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece of dough into an 8 to 10-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Brush each circle with the extra-virgin olive oil and grill for 4 minutes each side. Remove the piadina from the grill to cool slightly. Combine the ricotta cheese and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread each piadina with 1/2 cup of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle the fontina cheese evenly over the ricotta cheese. Arrange 2 prosciutto slices on top of the cheeses. Cut each piadina into 8 wedges and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the chopped basil.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

500 g (3 ¾ cups) of all purpose flour
220 ml (1 cup) of water
80 ml (about ⅓ cup) of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of fine salt
⅓ teaspoon of baking soda

Steps:

  • Place the flour in a bowl with the baking soda and salt. Mix well. Then add the oil and water. Mix everything for a few minutes until you get a soft but compact dough.
  • Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then divide the dough into 6 portions of about 100/110 g each (3.5/3.8 0z).
  • Work them a little with your hand on the work surface in order to have balls with a smooth surface and let them rest for another 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel. Roll out each ball with the help of a rolling pin, forming a disc with a thickness of 4/5 mm (about 0,20 inch) and a diameter of about 20/25 cm (8/10 inch).
  • Cook the Piadina one at a time in a preheated non-stick pan. Turn the Piadina after a minute or when bubbles form. Repeat it twice, pricking it here and there with a fork. The piadina must cook about 2 minutes per side (4 minutes in total). Piadina is ready when it has taken on a slightly golden color and the characteristic small dark spots have appeared on the surface.
