Thank You Momma!

You are very welcome. Let us know how it turns out.

Well, there are panini, and there are panini. Some are made with a thinnish foccaccia, and some are made with triangles of, ah, more ordinary bread.

If I remain awake, I'll try to come back with some links.

some tramezzini, which are also called panini.

These are also panini, or toasted tramezzini.

I bet this is a good book, the author, Viana La Place, was coowner at one point, I think, of the Angeli restaurant(s) in LA. Or, if not coowner of the restaurants, a co-writer with Evan Kleimann.

http://www.jilly.org/italy/rome/5963_panini.jpg - here they look more like sliced thin foccaccia, as I think of them.

OK, next, if I am still awake, I'll look for some foccaccia recipes..
my favorite is by Carol Field, but she is hard to find on the internet.

My experience with ciabatta or ciambatta is that is is slipper like, a tad fatter bread in cross section than usually used in italian panini, but often found in California versions..

I know I sound pedantic. I love all the ins and outs of this stuff, and can, of course, be wrong. Let's go to italy and check out panini...

Damn, I put too many c's in my focaccia...

I like this link a lot and there are bunches of what read to me as good recipes...

Thank you so much for your help. I will surly make good use of it. I am craving a tomato and provalone panini sandwich.

Btw: panini is plural, the singular of it is panino ... and it already means a 'roasted sandwich' :wink:
