Introduction & history
Runditt is a rustic Italian buckwheat flatbread originating from the region of Piemonte. It can be found at most festivals in the Vigezzo valley, but runditt is also often available throughout the year in local bakeries and restaurants. The main characteristic of this flatbread lies in its thickness, or the lack of it - the dough should be rolled as thin as possible before it's baked on an iron griddle.
Cooking tips

optional ingredients
Once the runditt has been baked, it can be rubbed with a garlic clove for extra flavor and aroma, if desired. Some people prefer the traditional version with butter and salt, while others add a garlicky layer on top. -
dough shape
When cutting the dough into squares, one should pay attention to the size — the squares of dough should be able to fit completely on an iron griddle. If you don't have an iron griddle, use a non-stick pan instead.
