Piadini

You need:
   3c all-purpose flour
   1 ts salt
   1/2 ts baking powder
   3 tb olive oil
   1/2 c (generous) mixture of half milk, half water
  
Instructions

    Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.  Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and a little of the milk-water mixture.  Start to mix the dough with a fork, gradually  adding the rest of the liquids: you will probably need extra water, depending on the absorbancy of the flour.
    When the dough has come together and leaves the sides of the bowl clean, form it into a rough ball and put it on a very lightly floured surface.  Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.  Let rest for 10 to 30 minutes.
    When the dough has rested, divide it into small balls, each about the size of a plum.  Roll each ball out onto a flat circle about 1/8 inch thick.  Now put the heavy pan on medium heat.  Let the pan become hot enough to make a drop of water dance.
    Put the first piadini in the pan and press down with a wooden spatula.  Let cook on one side for about 20 seconds or so that when you lift it to turn it over it should have whitened, and there will be the faint beginnings of brown scorch marks.  Repeat with the second side.
    When the bread is ready it will have puffed up and should have brown spots all over its surface.  Let cool and enjoy.
   Perfect for dinner or lunch - it can be served with a variety of toppings.

I got this recipe from a good friend.
