Italian Inspired: Perfect Panini Recipes
The panini is a type of sandwich that is pressed between two hot grills. It originated in Italy during the 20th century, and has been popularized by the availability of panini presses. At Joseph’s Bakery, we provide panini diamond bread that is perfect for the following grilled creations:
Caprese Panini:
Inspired by the Caprese salad, this panini contains mozzarella cheese, tomato slices, and fresh basil leaves. For best results, brush the inside of the panini bread with olive oil before putting the sandwich together.
Italian Melt Panini:
If you’re looking for a more substantial panini, try this Italian melt recipe. Like the Caprese panini, this sandwich echoes the flavors of the panini’s Italian origins. Brush both olive oil and red wine vinegar on the inside of your bread, and then fill the sandwich with slices of provolone cheese, salami, turkey, ham, and pepperoncini.
Three Cheese Panini:
The three cheese panini is similar to a classic grilled cheese, but with a gourmet flavor. First, brush the inside of your bread slices with pesto. Next, layer slices of mozzarella, fontina, and asiago cheese between the bread—you can also try adding a few basil leaves. Once pressed, the cheeses will melt together to create a unique and delightful sandwich.
Pesto Turkey Panini:
For something a bit lighter, try a pesto turkey panini. This panini is similar to the Caprese, as it contains mozzarella, basil, and tomato. However, replacing the olive oil with pesto and adding of slices of roast turkey breast give this sandwich an entirely different flavor.
