Prosciutto-Cheese Piadina and Butternut Squash-Pecorino Piadina
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup water
- One 3-pound butternut squashpeeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
- 1/2 pound thickly sliced pancetta, cut into 2-by- 1/4-inch matchsticks
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 ounces shaved pecorino cheese
- 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1/2 pound stracchino or robiola cheese, sliced
- 2 cups baby arugula
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, mix the flour with the baking soda and salt.
- Add the shortening and beat at low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually beat in the water on medium-low speed until the dough is smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 pieces, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- In a medium roasting pan, toss the butternut squash with the sliced pancetta, the 3 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Roast for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and browned in spots and the pancetta is browned.
- On an unfloured surface, roll out each piece of dough to an 8-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet.
- Cook the piadina one or two at a time over moderate heat, turning once, until lightly charred in spots and no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer to a shallow bowl and cover with foil to keep warm while you cook the rest.
- Arrange the piadina on a work surface.
- Top 4 of the piadina with the butternut squashpancetta mixture and shaved pecorino and fold to close.
- Top the other 4 with the prosciutto, stracchino cheese and arugula.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and fold to close.
- Serve the piadina immediately, either whole or cut into wedges.
