Svenja Gerling
Svenja loves Italy and Italian food This recipe is from her friend’s grandmother from the Emilia Romagna region. The friend was her ‘language tandem’ when she went to Italy on an exchange program during university and they used to bake these Piadina together. Svenja still bakes them regularly and then likes to remember the great time they had together.

1kg flour
4g dried yeast
150ml olive oil
