Panini – Sandwich Bread

Hello Dear Friends,

For reasons beyond our control, we had to go through a separation that lasted as little as a week but felt like a lifetime to me.
They say that people make plans, fate laughs, that's right. Fortunately, the bad and sad days are over. I was able to get back to you too.

Being at school this week and kneading a lot of dough has been incredibly good for me. As I always say, my medicine is the kitchen :) I'm distracted and it's the only place I feel breathing. Especially kneading bread is the best therapy. There is nothing better than making one's own bread.

The recipe that caught my attention this week was paninis. We prepared sandwich breads from the dough we made soft roll. They were so delicious and soft that I don't think I'll buy a panini again.

What is panini? Let me tell you briefly…

Panini is actually an Italian sandwich that is consumed hot. A very white bread type whose dough is scented with a small amount of olive oil. Although I like it cold, it is originally served on the grill or toasted, filled with grilled vegetables, seafood or aromatic herbs.

It is very important to have steam in your oven while baking this bread. Of course, since the ovens in our school are steam, there is no problem, but there is not much steam in home ovens. For this reason, I recommend that you put water in a heat-resistant container when starting to heat your oven. In this way, as the water evaporates, there will be moisture inside the oven.

Love…
