For a crispier piadina, use a slightly higher heat and cook for a shorter time.
If you don't have lard, olive oil works perfectly well. For a more authentic flavor, seek out high-quality rendered lard from a local butcher.
Piadina is best served warm. You can reheat it briefly in a dry skillet or microwave.
Experiment with different flours! A blend of all-purpose and semolina flour adds a delightful texture.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking – cook one piadina at a time to ensure even browning.
