Romagna-Style Piadina (Italian Flatbread)
  1. 1

    Combine the milk, margarine, and yogurt in a bowl and stir together.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and egg white. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and use your hands to bring the dough together until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl, adding flour or water as needed so it is neither sticky nor dry. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide it into 12 pieces and shape each into a ball. Roll and stretch each ball to about 1/8 inch thick and 8 inches across.

  4. 4

    Lightly oil a cast iron skillet and set it over medium-low heat. Cook the dough in the hot skillet until it starts to set, 1 to 2 minutes per side. While it cooks, pierce the dough with a fork 3 to 4 times. Wrap the finished pieces in a towel until ready to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
