  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (226 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Contains: dairy, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 90 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Lard
  • 0.8 g Salt
  • 45 g Water
  • 35 g Ham, dry-cured
  • 30 g Cream cheese
  • 10 g Arugula, raw

Method

  1. Mix the flour, lard and salt with your fingertips until crumbly, then work in the water to form a smooth, firm dough; knead 5 minutes.
  2. Cover and rest the dough for 30 minutes, then roll it out into a thin round about 22 cm across.
  3. Cook the round in a dry, hot pan (or on a griddle) over medium heat for 2 minutes a side, until it bubbles and picks up light brown spots.
  4. While still warm, split the piadina open and fill with the sliced prosciutto, the soft cheese (a stand-in for squacquerone) and the arugula.
  5. Fold in half and serve immediately while the bread is warm and pliable.
