Potato Piadina
Makes 6
Ingredients:
¼ cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
500g plain flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
80g lard, diced
3 potatoes, thinly sliced
3 zucchini, cut into rounds
250g taleggio, grated
3 tbsp rosemary
Method:
Preheat oven to 220°C. Put oil and garlic in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Make dough: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add lard and, using fingertips, rub in until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add 200ml cold water and mix until dough comes together.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes or until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 6 and roll out each piece to a 3mm thickness.
Place piadina on lightly oiled baking trays and top with potatoes, zucchini, taleggio, and rosemary. Drizzle with garlic oil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
