Piadina
- 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup soft fresh goat cheese
- 8 handfuls arugula
- In a food processor or heavy-duty mixer, combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
- Add the water and oil.
- Process or mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 1 minute.
- Remove from the machine, and knead briefly by hand on a lightly floured surface.
- Shape the dough into a ball.
- Cover with a bowl, and let rest 20 minutes to 1 hour.
- Cut the dough into 8 pieces.
- Cover all but 1 piece with a bowl.
- On a lightly floured surface, shape the piece into a ball.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to an 8-inch circle.
- Place a piece of wax paper on a large dinner plate, and put the circle of dough on it.
- Roll out the remaining dough, stacking the circles on the plate with wax paper in between.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Test the temperature by flicking some droplets of water onto the surface; if the water sizzles and evaporates quickly, the griddle is ready.
- Place a circle of dough in the skillet.
- Cook 30 seconds, or until the dough begins to stiffen and turns golden brown.
- Flip the piadina, and brown the other side.
- Place the piadina on a piece of foil in the oven, and keep warm until serving.
- To serve, on each piadina, spread about 2 tablespoons of cheese over half the circle.
- Place a handful of arugula on top, and then fold the piadina in half and serve.
