Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Olive oil
- 150 milliliters Water
- 100 grams Cashews
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 75 milliliters Water (for cashew cheese)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for cashew cheese)
- 100 grams Fresh spinach
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cashew cheese. Soak cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes. Drain and rinse.
In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic clove, lemon juice, 75 ml water, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
For the piadine dough, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Add olive oil and water to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
Roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each dough circle for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Keep them warm under a clean kitchen towel.
Prepare the fillings: wash and dry the spinach, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the zucchini into thin rounds.
Spread a generous layer of cashew cheese on each piadina.
Layer fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini slices over the cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and fold the piadina in half.
Serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegan Classic Italian Piadine!
