Could you make your own 'grilled' paninis?
I'm thinking of making my own panini with fillings sometime (maybe mozzarella and pepperoni, or something like that) and was wondering the best way to do it.
Do I bake/toast the bread and then just put in the oven for a bit til the cheese has melted? Adding garlic butter before adding pepperoni sounds good too. I'm wondering, as I had one of those microwaveable ones earlier (cheese and bacon) and the quality is crap, they do NOT go crispy at all but are hard and chewy

George Foreman or a Griddle Pan (with a spatula or fish slice) are the best ways to make a grilled panini.
I also found using those part-baked baguettes you buy from the supermarket are perfect for the panini too. I have done them a fair few times now and they taste just as good as any that I have had from cafe/restaurant/etc. |

![]() Last night I didnt have a panini roll, so used a ciabatta roll split in half - spread with garlic butter, melt mozzarella on it in the oven then put salami mlano inside Was very nice but I think I made it a bit too crispy.

Other Italian faux pas I have come across is an American in Rome moaning that Italians "don't even know what a latte is" It's milk your morons! If you want a cafe latte bloody ask for one! Last edited by richclever : 31-07-2013 at 15:53. Reason: spelling |

Only if you're talking about bread rolls. We're specifically talking about a pressed toasted sandwich.. that's "panini", never "panino".

Being unable to afford any fancy machinery to make my paninis.
I fill my panini bread with filling (usually tuna and cheese), give it a quick roll over with a rolling pin. Then pop it in a toaster bag and put it in my toaster and hey presto a yummy panini lol |

We have a Krups panini maker, similar to the Lidl one linked to above but better quality. A George Formby grill would probably work as well, but use at a high heat.
I've been making these things for years and by far the best way I have found is to use the part baked products such as baguettes and ciabatta that come in the sturdy plastic wraps and are supposed to be finished off in the oven. |

Do you bake the baguettes/ciabatta before "grilling" them and making them into paninis?

![]() We discovered this method by accident a few years ago and they always come out crispy brown on the outside and soft on the inside. |
