- I would say your local bakery would have panini bread....we do not have any local bakeries around here except for a couple in our grocery stores but I do not believe they have panini bread.... if your grocery store has a bakery in it check with them..
- A panino means literally "little bread" and refers to a roll or small loaf of any kind as well as a sandwich. ('Panini' is the plural meaning 'rolls' or 'sandwiches'.) "There is no such thing as "panini bread". Traditionally, the "pan" in panino has meant "roll" - these might be round (paisano-style), oval (baguette-style) or flat (like ciabattina) but foccacia is used at times, as are other breads. Thus, panini can be made on any bread: baguettes, ciabatta, foccacia - or wheat, white, rye or pumpernickel if you're so inclined (although it's unlikely you'll see those last two in Italy)." (http://www.aldocoffee.com/2005/10/there_is_no_suc.html ) So anywhere you can find (or make) a small ciabatta - pron. 'chabatta' - (which is what is generally used), you will have bread suitable for a panino. Here is a list of some Italian bakeries in San Francisco: http://sanfrancisco.citysearch.com/bestof/winners/bakery If you fancy making it yourself (which is very easy and incredibly satisfying - you can pour all sorts of anger and stress into kneading the dough ... leaving pure love for the shaping and baking! - this site was one of the best I found: http://www.rusticocooking.com/bread.htm and here is a recipe for ciabatta (which the above site doesn't specifically include): http://www.stillwatersgroup.com/recipes/ciabatta_bread.htm
