Panini Bread Recipes

PANINI BREAD

Steps:

• Place the ingredients in the bread machine in this exact order and don't stir: milk, beaten egg, 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, salt, flour, and quick rise yeast.
• Select dough setting. (Mine takes 90 minutes.)
• When cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out into the shape of a rectangle. Use lots of flour to prevent sticking. Cut the dough into 8-10 rectangle-shaped pieces.
• Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave and brush the paninis with it.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes.

PANINI BREAD RECIPE: NO-KNEAD & READY IN 1-HOUR!

Steps:

• Mix well water, yeast, and sugar in a jug or in a bowl and let it rest until foamy (about 5 minutes).
• Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
• In the meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250F and turn it off.
• Add the liquid to the dry ingredients, add olive oil, and mix with a spoon or a spatula to incorporate the flour*. Mix well until no dry flour remains, but do not overmix.
• Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or with cling film, then let rest in the warm oven for 30 minutes*.
• Take the dough out and preheat the oven to 440F° (forced fan).
• Gently scrape the edge of the bowl and pour the dough on a floured working surface. The dough is fluffy and a bit bubbly now, you don't want to deflate it.
• Dust the dough with flour and cut it into 10 portions as shown in the pictures above*.
• Gently roll out each portion, and keep dusting hands and surface with some flour if needed.
• Place each portion of dough (panino) on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
• Bake for about 20 minutes. If you have a conventional oven (without a fan), just bake for 5 minutes longer until golden and crusty.
• Enjoy while they're still warm if possible, they're delicious!
