Step 1
Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
Step 2
Pour olive oil and warm water into the well. Stir with a fork until shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead on a floured surface 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, not sticky.
Step 4
Cover dough with a damp towel and rest 20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 5
Slice mozzarella into 1/4-inch-thick slabs. Slice tomatoes 1/8-inch thick.
Step 6
Tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces if using. Pat arugula dry with a towel.
Step 7
Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a thin 7-inch circle on floured surface.
Step 8
Heat a 12-inch skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 9
Cook one piadina 2 minutes until edges look slightly blistered and color starts to turn golden.
Step 10
Flip and cook the other side 1–2 minutes until light golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 11
Repeat steps 9–10 with remaining three pieces of dough.
Step 12
Fold a warm piadina in half. Quickly layer mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto, and arugula inside.
Step 13
Season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately while warm.
