Piadine Romagnole is a traditional Italian flatbread that originated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It is made from a simple dough of flour, olive oil, milk, and water, and it is cooked on a hot griddle until bubbly and golden brown. Piadine is typically served stuffed with savory fillings like prosciutto, cheese, and arugula, or sweet toppings like Nutella and fruit. It can also be used as a base for pizza or sliced into wedges and served as a snack. Its versatility and delicious taste have made Piadine Romagnole a beloved staple of Italian cuisine.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2.	Gradually add in the olive oil, milk, and water, kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
3.	Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each one into a ball.
4.	Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
5.	Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Carefully transfer one disc to the hot pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly blistered.
6.	Repeat with the remaining discs.
7.	Serve immediately, stuffed with your preferred filling or toppings.
