Method
- Mix 150g '00' flour, 150g spelt flour, 15g sugar, 10g salt, and 5g bicarbonate in a bowl. Add 30g extra-virgin olive oil and gradually add 150g water, kneading until a smooth, soft dough forms. Cover with a cloth and rest for 30-60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: trim the asparagus, cutting larger ones in half lengthwise. Slice the spring onion thinly. Heat a pan with extra-virgin olive oil, add spring onion, asparagus, salt, and pepper. Add basil stems and a splash of water, cover, and steam until tender but still crisp. Add basil leaves and remove from heat.
- Make the mayonnaise: mash 6 hard-boiled egg yolks with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gradually drizzle in seed oil while whisking to emulsify. Stir in grated parmesan and chopped basil leaves.
- Slice the Passita salami lengthwise into long strips. Slice the tomatoes into strips.
- Divide the rested dough into 4 balls of about 90g each. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round disk (rough edges are fine).
- Heat a dry cast-iron or non-stick pan over high heat. Cook each piadina for about 1-2 minutes per side, until blistered and cooked through but still soft and foldable.
- To assemble: spread a layer of mayonnaise on each piadina. Lay asparagus, salami strips, tomato strips, and fresh basil in a line. Roll tightly.
- Slice the roll into smaller pieces or serve whole. Enjoy with a light beer.
