**Panini Oil: A Flavorful Journey Through Italy**
Panini, the beloved Italian grilled sandwich, is a symphony of flavors, textures, and aromas.

In this article, we present a collection of panini oil recipes that will elevate your grilled sandwiches to new heights. From classic olive oil infused with garlic and herbs to more adventurous concoctions like spicy chili oil or creamy avocado oil, these recipes offer a diverse range of flavors to suit every palate.
CLUB PANINI
Can be made in a frying pan or grill (the George Foreman type) I found this recipe on the net, changed it a bit and at the moment it is an addiction! I like it brushed with the olive oil but my preference is to use mayonnaise and use this method now all the time ever since I made Dawnab's Recipe #108522

Steps:
- Mix in a bowl the cold and boiling water. The water needs to be cool enough to touch which is perfect temperature for yeast to develop. Stir the yeast in the water until dissolved.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and stir ideally in a mixture and for about 5 minutes or knead by hand - the dough needs to be pliable and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise for an hour.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll them into oval flatbreads, around 15cm long. Cover a baking tray with baking parchment. Place the flatbreads on the tray, cover them and let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180 degrees convection.
- Bake the breads for 10 minutes or until they are slightly golden on top. Leave to cool.
- Cut them lengthways and fill them a favourite filling of yours. Place them in the oven at 200 degrees convention or the grill setting until the filling is melted and the bread is crisp.
BASIC GRILLED PANINI
This is a great grilled sandwich! Panini get their character or distinct look from the grill marks on the sandwich. I serve it with soup or even salad. This is the basic recipe. Enjoy!
