Folded griddled flatbread with cheese and jam
🇸🇲 City of San Marino
The piadina is the beloved flatbread of San Marino and neighboring Romagna, a thin unleavened round cooked fast on a hot griddle until it blisters. Folded warm around soft squacquerone cheese and a smear of fig jam, or filled with ham, it is street food and daily bread — breakfast, lunch, or snack.
