Gather the Ingredients
To start, let’s make sure we have everything we need:
- 1 piadina (homemade or store-bought)
- Your favorite fillings (mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, tomatoes, etc.)
- Olive oil or butter for brushing
Prepare Your Piadina
Before you start rolling, it’s important to prepare your piadina. Here’s what you need to do:
- Heat a non-stick pan or a flat griddle over medium heat.
- Place the piadina on the hot pan and warm it up for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Remove the piadina from the heat and place it on a clean surface.
Add Your Fillings
The next step is to add your favorite fillings to the piadina. The possibilities are endless, but here are some classic combinations to consider:
- Mozzarella, tomato, and basil
- Prosciutto, arugula, and Parmesan
- Grilled vegetables with goat cheese
Be careful not to overload the piadina with fillings, as this can make it difficult to roll.
Roll It Up!
Now, it’s time for the fun part – rolling the piadina. Follow these steps for a perfect roll:
- Start by folding one edge of the piadina towards the center, about 1 inch.
- Continue to roll the piadina tightly, keeping the fillings securely inside.
- Brush the outer edge of the piadina with a little olive oil or butter to seal the roll.
- Place the rolled piadina back on the pan for a final quick grilling, about 1 minute on each side, to give it a crispy finish.
- Remove from the pan and let it cool for a minute before serving.
