My Homemade Spelt Piadina – Dairy-Free & Soft!
This piadina recipe is inspired by my lovely Italian friend Gepinna. In the video, I’ve added my own tweak using white spelt flour for a gentler-on-the-digestion, nutty-flavoured flatbread. Gepinna shared a brilliant tip for making soft, dairy-free piadine: use sparkling water—or aqua frizzante, as it’s known in Italy. It creates a light, tender texture without needing milk or yoghurt. Perfect for wrapping your favourite savoury fillings or enjoying warm straight out of the pan!
