What it is

Panini bread is a type of Italian bread that is typically made with white flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes oil or sugar. It is characterized by its flat, often oval shape and a slightly chewy texture. The bread is traditionally baked in a hearth oven, giving it a rustic crust.

Why it's used

Panini bread is primarily used to make pressed sandwiches, known as paninis. Its sturdy yet soft texture makes it ideal for holding various fillings and for grilling or pressing without falling apart. It is commonly found in delis, cafes, and restaurants offering sandwiches.

Health notes

Panini bread is a staple food made from common ingredients like flour, water, and yeast. The FDA considers these basic ingredients generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the common additives that might be used in bread production, such as dough conditioners or preservatives, and have established safety guidelines. At typical consumption levels, panini bread is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber, depending on whether whole grains are used.

Allergen info

Panini bread is typically made with wheat flour, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It may also contain other allergens depending on the specific recipe and ingredients used. Gluten, found in wheat, is also a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
