About Panini bread

Panini bread is a type of Italian bread often used to make pressed sandwiches. Originating from Italy, traditional panini bread is usually made from ciabatta or focaccia bread, characterized by its firm crust and soft, airy interior. It is commonly prepared using wheat flour, olive oil, yeast, and water, and may sometimes include herbs for added flavor. A typical nutritional profile per 100g includes approximately 270-350 calories, 8-10g of protein, 1-2g of fat, and 55-60g of carbohydrates. It also provides small amounts of B-vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium but can vary depending on the preparation. Panini bread serves as a versatile base for sandwiches and is a preferred choice for its robust texture that holds up well to grilling or pressing.
