Ingredients

  • wheat flour500 g
  • warm water250 ml
  • olive oil50 ml
  • salt1.5 tsp
  • cooked ham200 g
  • scamorza200 g
  • arugula50 g

Instructions

1

In a bowl, combine the wheat flour and salt. Pour in the warm water and olive oil, knead the dough, and work it for 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

2

Cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

3

Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll out each one into a circle 22–24 cm in diameter and about 2–3 mm thick.

4

Heat a dry heavy skillet well over medium-high heat. Cook each piadina for 1–2 minutes per side, piercing any large bubbles, until amber spots appear on the surface.

5

Return one hot piadina to the skillet, place 50 g of scamorza on one half, cover with a lid, and heat for about 30 seconds until the cheese starts to melt.

6

Transfer the piadina to a board, top the cheese with 50 g of ham and 12.5 g of arugula, and fold in half. Repeat filling with the remaining piadine, cheese, ham, and arugula.

7

Serve the piadine immediately, while the flatbreads are warm and the scamorza is soft and stretchy.
