Ingredients
Gluten-free flour
3/4 cup (I used Gluten Free Pantry's favorite sandwich bread mix)
Salt
3/4 teaspoon
Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
Dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon
Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon
Oil
3/4 tablespoon (I used grapeseed oil)
Ice water
1/4 cup
Instructions
1
Sift the gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, rosemary, and garlic powder into a small mixing bowl to ensure even distribution.
2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the oil and ice water into the center.
3
Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the liquid using a spatula or your hands until a dough begins to form.
4
If the dough feels dry and crumbly, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is pliable and easy to handle.
5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
6
Divide the dough into two equal portions.
7
Roll out each portion into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter, dusting with more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
8
Preheat a large skillet over high heat, then reduce to medium heat. Lightly brush the skillet with oil.
9
Place one circle of dough into the skillet. Use a fork to prick several holes over the surface to prevent bubbling.
10
Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is lightly browned. Brush the top side with oil, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned and cooked through.
11
Remove the cooked piadina from the skillet and repeat the process with the second piece of dough.
