Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 120 grams Unsweetened plain yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
- 60 milliliters Water (room temperature)
- 20 grams Rice flour or gluten-free flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil, yogurt, and water. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or your hands until it forms a soft and slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
Lightly dust a clean surface with rice flour or gluten-free flour. Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into discs. Using a rolling pin, roll each disc into a circle approximately 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter. Dust lightly with more rice flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one piadina at a time into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles start to form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
Transfer the cooked piadina to a clean kitchen towel and cover to keep warm while repeating with the remaining dough pieces.
Serve the gluten-free piadina warm with your favorite fillings or toppings, such as fresh vegetables, cheese, or cured meats. Enjoy!
