Calorie piadina

Typical of Romagna, the piadina is a food product obtained by cooking a mixture of flour, water, salt and lard (or olive oil) for a few minutes, worked to obtain a low thickness and a circular shape. In this way the piadina can be stuffed, like a sandwich, with ingredients such as mozzarella, cured meats and vegetables of various types. Once the ingredients have been distributed, before or after cooking, the dough is enclosed to give it the classic semicircle shape, transforming the piadina into a authentic "local fast-food". Very quick to prepare and cook, it does not need cutlery or a table to sit at, revealing itself to be a formidable ally for those forced to skip a meal for work. But how many calories does a piadina have? The answer depends mainly on the choice of ingredients and the weight of the dough, since its composition is quite uniform.

In any case, given the addition of oils and fats, the absence of leavening and the lower humidity, for the same weight the piadina pasta contains about 25% more calories than bread, getting very close to the caloric value of pasta and rice.

To facilitate the calculation of the calories of the piadina we have prepared a simple calculation form: simply select the various ingredients from the drop-down menu, specifying the quantities added each time. In the first menu it is possible to select the calories of the dough, since this parameter varies slightly according to the ingredients (type of flour, quantity and quality of fat, etc.). If you do not know the exact value, keep the standard value of 340 calories A common piadina (dough only) weighs on average about 120-130 grams.
