Best Panini Maker
What exactly is a panini?
Does the style of bread constitute whether a sandwich is a panini or does the filling?

- Neither, its the method of making it. Its any sort of filling, usually a meat/veggie/cheese combo put onto thick bread and then cooked in a sandwich press. The sandwich press "squishes" the bread and makes it really crispy and heats up the inside so the cheese is all melty and delicious.
- A grilled sandwich sometimes heated in a Panini Press.
- It's the way it is cooked, on a panini grill. Here's a recipe SICILIAN PANINI 1/2 lb. mortadella 1/2 lb. hot capicola 1/4 lb. prosciutto 1/2 lb. provolone pickle slices (sweet or sour) hot pepper relish extra virgin olive oil 4 grinder style sub rolls Set panini press to "Sear" (High). Cut grinder rolls in half lengthwise. Brush outside, top and bottom with olive oil. Spread inside, top and bottom with hot pepper relish On bottom roll. Line with 3 pieces Mortadella, then top with 3 pieces of hot capicola. Top that with 2 pieces of prosciutto. Place pickles over the meats. Fold 2 pieces Provolone in half and cover pickles. Add remainder. Roll half on top. Place on panini press and close for about 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and grilled lines appear.
- well, not really typically it's a grilled sandwhich with meat, cheese and veggies

- Panino is the singular form of Panini. Panini is usually used in the singular sense by english speaking people who have borrowed the term from it's native Italy. In italy, panino can mean either a small bread loaf, or a sandwich. Panini are cooked in a panini grill, which is very similar to a focaccia iron, or sandwich press.
- idk. probably the bread. because they say it is italian bread. i'm not sure though. but does it really matter whether the food that you're eating is the name of the bread, filling or entire thing?
- i thought a panini was just a grilled sanwich probably though some type of good hearty bread would constitute it more
