ITALIAN PIADA, ITALIAN FLAT BREAD, MR PIADINA IN CAMDEN MARKET, PIADA FLAT BREAD, Piadina [pjaˈdiːna] or Piada [ˈpjaːda] is a thin Italian flatbread, typically prepared in the Romagna historical region (Forlì, Cesena, Ravenna and Rimini). It is usually made with white flour, lard or olive oil, salt and water. The dough was traditionally cooked on a terracotta dish (called teggia in the Romagnol), although nowadays flat pans or electric griddles are commonly used.
The Piadina has been added to the list of the traditional regional food products of Italy of the Emilia-Romagna Region. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Italy who does these giant flatbreads better than Mr Piadina. Warm, crispy and cooked to order stuffed with artisan meats and cheeses, they are served to take out but there are plenty of chairs outside the shop if you want to sit down with a drink. The brie and pesto is the hero dish.
