Italian Piadina shows that just about any country or kitchen has its own version of the tortilla. Because Piadina is an Italian flatbread. Decorated with lots of great toppings.

Maybe a piadina is slightly different than a regular tortilla but this flatbread is just as tasty. You can easily make these tortillas at home. So are you ready to learn how you can make this Italian Piadina recipe with Parma ham and mozzarella? Lets get started!

Piadina can be considered the Italian version of a flour tortilla and as I love tortilla this piadina is a lunch time favorite.

A piadina is available all across Italy but unfortunately it is not a recipe that is widely available in other countries.

So what do you do when you can’t buy it in the store? You can just make this Italian piadina yourself. It is a very easy recipe.

Then add your favorite toppings and you have a great lunch recipe. Further this recipe contains olive oil and a little bit of baking soda to make the Italian piadina soft and fluffy.

Just like focaccia or ciabatta this piadina is a little thicker than your regular tortilla and more like a bread. So to bake a piadina you can use a cast iron skillet.

Knead by hand into an elastic dough in about 5 minutes and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then divide the dough in 4 equal pieces.

Roll the dough into a piadina tortilla. If your dough has a lot of resistance you need to let it rest a little more. 

Now pre heat a skillet until hot. Bake the piadina 1 to 2 minutes per side without a baking product. Once your piadina has dark spots it is done. 

To decorate your flatbread put shredded mozzarella on one half of the piadina. Add a slice of Parma ham, sun dried tomatoes and some rucola.
