Panini is a type of Italiansandwichbread baked in small loaves so that the entire loaf can be used for each sandwich.
In Italian language, panini is only the plural form of panino, a small bread often horizontally cut and filled with salami, ham, meat, cheese or other food.
The Panini sandwich was invented accidently by Nunzio Panini, the son of an Italian Grocer. He originally placed grilled eggplant and fresh goat cheese between two slices of foccacia bread, to discover what is now an Italian delicacy.
"Panini" is also a brand of grill made specifically for grilling these sandwiches.
A panino (IPA: [pʰəˈninəʊ]) is a sandwich made from a small loaf of bread, typically a ciabatta.
The word is Italian (literally meaning small piece of bread), with plural panini, although panini is often used in a singular sense by other languages that borrow the word, including English and French.
In Italian, panino refers variously to a bread roll and a sandwich, and a paninoteca is a sandwich bar.
Commercial panini grills are available in 110V for the smaller, single panini grills, and typically 220V for the larger, double grills.
