In breve

The dish in short

  • Soft wheat flour, eggs, lard, salt, lukewarm water and plenty of black pepper: the eggs and the pepper set it apart from piadina.
  • Lard twice: worked into the dough, then spread thinly over each sheet rolled very thin.
  • Each sheet is rolled up tight, coiled into a spiral and chilled, so the lard stays in layers.
  • The coils are rolled out again into rounds and cooked on a very hot testo or pan, a few minutes on each side.
