What Makes A Sandwich A Panini?
A panini is a sandwich that is grilled or pressed, often made with Italian bread such as ciabatta or focaccia. It typically includes ingredients such as cheese, meat, vegetables, and spreads. The sandwich is placed between two hot plates that press down and create the signature criss-cross grill marks on the bread. The use of a grill or press is what sets a panini apart from a regular sandwich.
