Milk Flatbreads without Lard

Today, a savory recipe: milk flatbreads without lard.

Milk flatbreads are a different version of the classic Romagna flatbreads. Easy and quick to prepare, they are great with tasty savory or sweet fillings, or even as a bread substitute to accompany your dishes. Milk flatbreads without lard and yeast are therefore perfect for a vegan diet if you replace the milk with soy milk.

A light and digestible dough, easy to roll and work with a rolling pin to create pastry discs to then cook in a pan. Once cooked, unleash your creativity for fillings; I love grilled vegetables and roasted ham for savory fillings, while my favorite sweet one is with peach jam.

Let’s see together, step by step, how to make this recipe.

  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Stand Mixer
  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Pastry Board

Let’s Start

  • Place the flour, milk, and water in the bowl of the stand mixer and start mixing. Once the ingredients are combined, add the oil and salt and continue mixing.

    If you prefer to do it by hand, arrange the flour in a mound on a work surface and put all the ingredients in the center, then knead vigorously.

    Knead until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough ball.

  • Let the dough rest for about twenty minutes so it relaxes a bit, then divide it into eight equal parts of about 100 grams each. Place them on a lightly floured surface and roll them out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Naturally, if you prefer them thinner, roll them out a bit more.

  • Take a non-stick pan and heat it, then lay a dough disc inside and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on medium-low heat, flip, and let cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.

    Continue this process for all the discs, remembering to clean the pan between each cooking.

  • Once cooked, place them on a plate and then fill the milk flatbreads without lard and yeast as you like. Before finishing them, take a photo of your flatbreads and post it on social media tagging me (una riccia che pasticcia instagram and facebook) and let me know how you filled them.
