📝 Ingredients:
▪️ 3 cups bread flour or all-purpose flour
▪️ 1 teaspoon instant yeast
▪️ 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
▪️ 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
▪️ 1 teaspoon salt
▪️ 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
▪️ Optional: ½ teaspoon dried herbs, pinch of red pepper flakes, chopped olives, or sun-dried tomatoes
🔪 Directions:
▪️ 1. Mixing the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and instant yeast. Heat the water to lukewarm and pour it into the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a shaggy, somewhat wet dough. Don't worry if it seems a bit sticky; that's exactly what we want for a light and airy panini bread.
▪️ 2. Warm Oven Rise: Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (around 170°F or 77°C), then turn it off. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and place it in the oven. Let the dough rest for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
▪️ 3. Shaping the Panini: Once your dough is puffed up like a cloud, gently deflate it on a lightly floured surface. Use a bench scraper or your hands to divide it into 4-6 equal portions, depending on your desired panini size. Roll each piece into a torpedo shape, about 6-8 inches long.
▪️ 4. Baking to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange your shaped panini on the sheet, leaving some space between them to allow for expansion. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
▪️ 5. Grilling & Enjoying: For the perfect panini, grill using a panini press or skillet on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side. Brush a little olive oil on the outside of the panini bread for extra crispiness and flavor. Fill with your favorite ingredients and enjoy your gourmet sandwich!
📝 Notes:
Customize the dough with your favorite herbs, spices, or mix-ins like olives and sun-dried tomatoes.Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.Reheat slices in a toaster or oven for a fresh-baked taste.
