Piadina romagnola is a flatbread from Emilia Romagna. They use it instead of bread, to make delicious, street-food sandwiches.

Traditionally, a piadina sandwich can be stuffed with:

  • ham and cheese,
  • other cold meats (mortadella, salami, etc),
  • mozzarella and tomatoes.

But my favorite is arugula, tomatoes, and stracchino cheese, sometimes with prosciutto crudo too.

This is the authentic piadina romagnola recipe.
