Vegan stracchino is type of Italian cheese spread that can be prepared in 5 minutes and with an amazing result. You'll end up with a spreadable cheese with a flavour and texture very similar to those of the classic Italian stracchino. Perfect to spread on bread, but even better to stuff a piadina stracchino and arugula.

INSTRUCTIONS
🌱 Vegan Stracchino Cheese
- In a pot, add soy milk, potato starch, corn starch, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt. - -- Stir with a whisk till there are no lumps.
- On medium heat, bring the liquid to a boil while stirring continuously. Keep stirring until the liquid becomes thick.
- Take off the heat, keep stirring vigorously for another minute, then add the soy yogurt and stir very well.
- You should see the ingredients relax and turn into a smooth, lightly stringy consistency. Your vegan stracchino is ready. Store in a bowl in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

🌱 Piadina flat-bread
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients together and mix with a fork or with a spatula till everything comes together.
- Transfer the mixture on a worktop that you previously sprinkled with flour, and knead for 5 minutes until you have a smooth, soft but compact dough ball. Cover with a cloth and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in 4 equal pieces, then shape each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a cloth to prevent them from drying and in the meantime start warming up a non-stick pan on low-medium heat.
- While the pan warms up you can flatten the first ball into a thin, round flat-bread (piadina). Rotate the dough often so that you get a regular round shape.
- You should aim for 3mm thick discs. That is 3/32 Inch or 0.12 Inches. Sprinkle the worktop and the dough with flour to prevent it from sticking.
- Cook the piadina on the hot non-stick pan. The pan should be hot, but the heat/flame should be low. Let cook for about 1.5 - 2 minutes on each side.
- When it's cooked, put it on a plate in between a clean kitchen cloth. This will help preserve moisture. Repeat with the other flatbreads till you are done.
- Fill up with your favourite filling and enjoy! We use our vegan stracchino with arugula as a filling.
