So, does anyone know or does anyone have a receipe for Panini Bread? Can't buy it here and I would like to bake it myself.

what's panini bread?
i bake bread all the time

[Benny2guns]

It's a heavey bread, wide oblong round in shape. Not sure if it is Italian or Portuguese or what but I used to be able to buy it in the store bake shop's. Canada came out with these new insane lable laws and everyone stoped makeing it. It's great for sliceing leinght wise and spreading butter, garlic and cheese on then bakeing in the oven. Best Garlic cheese bread for serving with home made pasta.
