500 gr. flour 00
10 gr. salt

2 gr. bicarbonate of soda
65 gr. lard,if you can't find lard you can use evoo.
165 ml. water at room temperature

Method:

I put all ingredients inside my KA bowl with the hook inserted I let knead for about 10 minutes that's all!!
Let the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
Take small pieces of dough and spread them thin 2/3 mm,to give them the round shape use a dish or a bowl upside down.
Heat a non-stick pan put the piadina and let cook for 2 minutes each side.
