Italian PaniniPanera Bread Recipe
Serves 4
1 loaf Rosemary and Onion Focaccia split horizontally
1/2 cup Panera Bread Dipping Sauce for bread
1 lb. hard Italian salami thinly sliced
1/2 lb. fresh baby spinach leaves
1 red onion thinly sliced
3/4 lb. provolone cheese thinly sliced
Spread dipping sauce on the top and bottom of the focaccia. Arrange half of the cheese slices on the bottom piece of the focaccia. Add in a layer of the spinach, salami, red onion and the other half of the cheese. Place the top of the focaccia on the sandwich and cut the sandwich in quarters.
Spray a large, heavy skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add in the sandwiches to the pan. Press down frequently and firmly with the back of a spatula, till the bread is toasted, about 3 to 4 min. Carefully turn the sandwiches over and heat the other sides, again pressing firmly with the spatula for an additional 3 to 4 min.
