Italy Panino (Small Bread Roll)
The panino ("small bread roll") needs little introduction, other than the fact that most Americans do not realize that ordering a "panini" is technically incorrect. Panino is the singular form and does not refer to a pressed and grilled sandwich. This homemade panino, however, is the perfect vehicle for any type of sandwich. Just make sure to grill the sandwich in order to get the best flavor.
