Piaya is a muscovado-filled unleavened flatbread from the Philippines especially common in Negros Occidental where it originated. It is made by filling dough with a mixture of muscovado and glucose syrup. The filled dough is then flattened with a rolling pin, sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked on a griddle.
Variations
The traditional sweet filling made of muscovado has other alternatives, including ube and mango. Piayitos are tiny versions of the Piaya and they are thin and crispy.
