I can't believe another year has passed and World Bread Day is here again!
As I've said before, I bake tons of bread and here is my recipe for simple panini rolls, which make an appearance at least once a week. The best way to eat them is toasted, with melted cheese, onion and tomatoes. Fresh basil leaves are good too, only I forgot to put them in this time.
Don't have a panini press? Me neither! I grill (broil) the split paninis with the fillings first. Close them and pop them onto a pre-heated griddle pan to make the outsides crispy and get the lovely grill marks on them. Flatten them while in the pan by pressing down on them with a heat proof spatula or press them down with a clean flat saucepan lid.
Hop on over to Kochtopf, where Zorra is hosting the 3rd World Bread Day event - there are lots of fabulous bread recipes from around the world and you can also take a look at the past World Bread Day round-ups.
Panini Bread Rolls
1 sachet (7g) quick rising yeast
600g/1lb 5oz strong white bread flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
370ml/13 fl oz water (approx)
1 beaten egg to glaze, optional
Put all the ingredients into the bread machine in the correct order.
When it comes to the water, you may need less or more, keep an eye on it and add as necessary to make a smooth, soft dough.
When the dough is ready, cut it into about 10 pieces and knead each one into a long roll shape. Flatten with your hand or use a little rolling pin - you want them fairly flat.
Cover and leave to rise until they have doubled in size, brush with beaten egg (optional) and bake in a pre-heated oven 180ºC/350ºF for about 14-16 minutes until golden brown.

Simply beautiful... and the cheese oozing out of the panini looks tempting.
These look delicious. I can't believe I've never thought about making paninis in a griddle pan before!
I make a lot of bread and really love paninis, will definitely be making these!
Nic, those look great! I have a george forman grill and it works for these, too! Much love, Raquel XO
Oh my.
Nic, those pictures are mercilessly teasing my taste buds, especially the second one!
good you don t live nearby. Bread is my soft spot I would end up like a bread roll with all the delicious bread i would eat. These look so so good :)
Grilled panini with cheese look sinfully good!
Mmmm they look very edible!!
I bought some dried yeast sachets the other day so this gives me a good excuse to make a mess of the kitchen this weekend and dust off the old panini press!
Yummy looking panini Nic!
Anudivya - thank you, I love melted cheese.
Jules - the griddle pan is quite effective, do you have one?
Sam - they are so quick and easy!

Yasmeen - thank you and welcome!
Anne - lucky you to have a panini press!
Jan - thanks!
I love paninis but have never made them. They look gorgeous
Hi Nic - I won it in a xmas raffle about 3 years ago! is great looking glass thingy http://www.amazon.co.uk/Russell-Hobbs-10810-Glass-Panini/dp/B0002VYJ9K but takes up to much room to keep out unfortunately :( ... but I think I will have to pull it out to make these as they look droolworthy!
Absolutely delicious!!! I love those kind of panini! :D
Have a nice week end!
Love paninis, I will have to try them on the griddle as it makes such pretty lines.
I have not had breakfast yet and all I can think about is this yummy cheesy panini!! The bread looks awesome!
I'm definitely having a panini for lunch after seeing this! Looks great!
That sandwich looks warm and delicious. There is nothing like simple fresh homemade rolls to take sandwiches to a new level!
well, whaddya know--there are special rolls for the panini press? i had no idea. the rolls alone are beautiful, but the resulting sandwich is downright gorgeous. fantastic. :)
Nic - I have a cast iron griddle pan. Weighs a ton, but cooks fab steaks!
Beth - time to give them a go!
Anne - how wonderful, it looks like a really good press. You'd better get it out and dust it off!
Sheryl - thanks! Hope you have a good one too.
Parker - that's the only reason for using the griddle pan, they still taste the same, but I agree the lines do look nice.
Tartlette - I think we are going to have to do the blog rounds after lunch, all I can think about is macarons!
Brilynn - what sort of filling do you like? I might have one with some blue cheese for my lunch.
Lisa - I agree, you really can't beat homemade rolls.
Grace - ha ha, isn't that funny - I'm sure I saw some panini buns in the store, they were kind of flat and long and I think they even had those little lines on already!!!
Jules - mine is a cast iron one too, very heavy, but what a shame we don't eat beef in this house anymore. I used to love a decent steak!
Lovely rolls, and such a delicious sandwich!
I love panini sandwiches, especially when they ooze cheese like yours. I really should give this a go.
There is such great satisfaction in making your own bread from start to finish.... it sounds delicious:D
Lovely panini Nic, bread is my weakness and I am always looking for new ones to try. These will be next.
Fantastic...just couldn't wait for the picture to download! I don't have a press either & make mine the same way as you do. I'm gonna make these soon...very soon. Love the way they look! Delicious!
Those panini rolls look good and so does that panini!
Boy those look perfect and delicious. Nothing like fresh baked bread to make a great sandwich!
Never actually seen a panini bread recipe. This is great..
I use 2 cast iron skillets to press my paninis.
This looks out of this world - I'm not a bread baker but this I would try.
holy smokes! that close up took my breath away...gorgeous bread..gorgeous panini!!
Wow, I call myself a bread lover and I didn't even know there was a World Bread Day! The panini rolls look brilliant, Nic.
What a great idea to make paninis in a griddle pan. Thank you for the tip. They look fabulous.
Your rolls look delicious Nic...I love the photo with oozing cheese!!

Good grief, this is one mean panini sandwich....
Nic, I'm sitting here in front of the monitor and I'm drooling...
Thx for your participation in WBD'08.
Nic, these are mouthwatering! All the gooey cheese is killing me, my friend. :)
Okay, those look ooooozingly delicious and sinful! And I bet they are great a cool, crisp day...
I do have a panini press, because I love paninis! But I've never even thought of making my own panini rolls. Now I have to, don't I? :)

Forgot to say I made these the other week but improvised and used stoneground wholemeal flour and made them by hand with a little help from the kenwood chef, didnt end up using as panini rolls but they made very good bread rolls!
The other half was very happy with them! :)
I have been on the search for a great homemade bread for panini's & Jules turned me on to this recipe. It was absolutely perfect!
I had to use a bit more flour but they were so simple to make.
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Thank you everyone!
Rico - hope they are good!
Kristen - thanks so much for letting me know, glad they were a success!
