In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add olive oil and water to the dry ingredients, and stir until a dough forms. Allow the dough to sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Divide the dough into four equal parts and roll each portion into a ball.
Place a dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin circle, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a rolled-out dough circle on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear.
Repeat with the remaining dough to cook all piadine.
To assemble, evenly distribute mozzarella cheese among the cooked piadine while they are still warm. The heat will melt the cheese slightly.
Add a layer of sliced ham and a handful of arugula leaves onto each piadine.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them on top of the arugula.
Fold each piadina in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb classic Italian piadine!
