Question

Can I use hot dog buns instead?

Qamar

Top Answerer

Hot dog buns are too delicate and soft to be used as a substitute for making panini. Since the panini is pressed while cooking, it could break apart the bun.

Question

Why does my panini stick to the panini press?

Community Answer

You may not be using enough grease on the press. You could also try laying sheets of parchment paper.

Question

Are the meat slices supposed to be raw?

Community Answer

No. Do not make paninis with raw meat. If you're referring to the picture, that looks like honey-baked ham. It just appears raw because it's pink, but it is fully cooked.

Question

What is a good bread to make a panini with?

Community Answer

The best bread to use to make a panini is focaccia bread. Or, you can use ciabatta, or a whole grain baguette. It is best to avoid using sourdough, which is too heavy and strongly flavored.

Question

Are you not aware that “panini” is plural? The singular is “panino”!

Community Answer

This is true in Italian. However, English somehow adopted "panini" as the singular and made "paninis" the plural.

Question

Can I use sandwich bread or not?

Community Answer

Technically speaking, this would make a grilled sandwich (or in New Zealand and Australian English, a toastie) rather than a panini - but it would still be tasty, so go ahead!
