Skillet Piadinpizza is a type of fusion between a piadina and a pizza, a creative and fun recipe that can be made in a skillet. Here is how to make a homemade version of Piadinpizza:

Ingredients

  • 2 piadinas (you can buy them ready-made or prepare them at home with flour, water, salt, and baking soda)
  • 200g of tomato puree or tomato sauce
  • 150g of mozzarella (fiordilatte is better) or a cheese that melts well, diced or shredded
  • Dry oregano to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Garnish ingredients of your choice, such as:
    • Slices of salami
    • Chopped olives
    • Mushrooms in oil or fresh
    • Strips of bell pepper
    • Thinly sliced onion
    • Capers
    • etc.

Note: If you are using additional ingredients, make sure to prepare them before cooking, as in sautéing fresh mushrooms or sliced bell peppers in a skillet.

Preparation

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet big enough to hold a piadina. There is no need to add oil as the piadinas already contain the necessary fats to prevent sticking.

  2. Once the skillet is hot, place one piadina and let it warm up for about a minute, then flip it to the other side.

  3. Spread some tomato sauce over the surface of the piadina, leaving about a centimeter from the edges, then season with a pinch of salt and oregano.

  4. Add the mozzarella or the cheese you have chosen along with any other garnish ingredients you prefer.

  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat until the cheese has melted and the ingredients are heated through, which will take about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Once ready, slide the Piadinpizza onto a serving plate, let it cool for a minute, and then serve.

Some trivia:

Piadinpizza is an example of how cooking can be creative and versatile, combining two dishes loved by many. It can be personalized with ingredients of your choice, making it suitable to satisfy different tastes or to take advantage of what you have in the pantry. And the beauty is that each of these variations brings the dish closer to the idea of pizza, which in its essence is a canvas of bread enriched with whatever one prefers.
