Panini Bread
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.

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.
