Yield: 4 SERVINGS
Ingredients
-
1⁄4 cup buckwheat flour
-
1⁄4 cup whole-wheat flour
-
1⁄4 cup graham flour
-
11⁄2 cups bread flour, plus a few handfuls more for rolling out
-
2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more for garnish
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
-
11⁄4 cups warm whole milk
Instructions:
-
Put all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the olive oil and milk and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough, adding more flour if it is too sticky. Cover with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
-
Shape the dough into 4-ounce balls and set them on a tray or towel. Let them rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or pancake griddle (you can also use a large sauté pan) over medium-high heat.
-
Roll out each piece of dough on a floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle. Place the rolled-out piadina, one at a time, on the grill or griddle and cook for 1–2 minutes on each side.
-
Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and serve warm.
