Viewed requests, since today is my recipe for flatbread.
not use lard, also because 'where I live now, and I' difficult to find the excellent material, but if you find it, you can omit the vegetable oil.
I think that to make a good flat bread with lard, you should use lard still hot, or just done, not to buy the cakes from the supermarket, but to go to your butcher trust. Here in
romagna there are many recipes for flatbread, and various ways to cook a variety of thicknesses.
From my experiences I drew a "map" of the thickness of piada, that 'the areas where you can eat more' or less subtle and usually grow well '; of Romagna in the north, to INTED areas in the hills north of Ravenna Cesena and the hinterland that includes, to the border and that 'my city' s hometown, Cervia, the flatbread and 'pretty thick, and usually prefers lard.
Another discourse and 'the area south of Romagna, which starts in Cattolica Cesenatico up to where you can find it progressively more and more' subtle, at times, as cartamusica, and where we can find, as the main ingredients in oil and honey. In true
piadina, baking powder there is, the flat bread is not 'a product ready for baking, but you just add baking soda, then here too there have been changes.
In areas of the Apennines, I heard that, during the war, in the absence of other, even the flat bread was made with chickpea flour, or with that of chestnuts, or extreme, with the bark of trees, finely chopped (for Onferno, very evocative place to visit their famous caves).
Speaking of cooking, flatbread has a fast firing, and cooking on a clay plate directly over the flame of the fireplace or brazier, or the "teggia" or text, and 'a generally circular plate, cast iron, which is placed above the heater plate or gas.
In the absence of these objects, for cooking, you can deal with a pan of crepes, or in the more 'desperate situation, with a pan antiaderentte, it would be better to fund often.

Cook the tortillas for a few minutes about 2 or 3 and run with the help of a shovel, if they were to form bubbles, pierce with a fork, cook for the same minute the other side.
Now you can eat them right away, or you can make you an escort, proceeding as follows: cook the tortillas very little, both sides taking care not to break them.
Let them cool completely and well spaced so that condensate does not do.
Mettele, once cold, Sachetti for freezing, either whole or cut in half '.
Having made a pre-cooking, we can keep the good in the freezer to cook and finish them when needed.
With the same dough you can make even the watercress, or boxes, are a kind of stuffed turnovers, just roll the dough more 'thin and rectangular, stuff to taste cooked with herbs, tomato and mozzarella pizza (otherwise the other guy will do 'too much water and you'll be) sausage potatoes, pumpkins and potatoes .. etc. .. the filling to be put at the bottom of our rectangle, should be wet all the edges, fold the dough over the filling without stuffing, pass a ravioli wheel to define its borders and crush well with the tines of fork to seal them further, then cook them in the text or frying pan for 3-4 minutes per side without forget to cook the bottom, and eat immediately.
