Spuntino Panini

“Spuntino Panini” – this name will make the connoisseur’s mouth water, because he knows the treat that awaits. In addition to the ingredients flour, water, salt, sourdough, pre-dough and a little yeast, you only need time to create this specialty.

In addition to wheat sourdough and poolish, the following recipe also contains a small splash of olive oil, which contributes to its typical Italian taste.

After the long and cool rise (up to 18 hours), it is important to handle the dough as gently as possible so as to not destroy the large and open crumb structure. 

The dough pieces are first carefully separated with a dough knife then somewhat formed and left to proof. The final proof doesn’t take longer than 30 minutes (preheat the oven in advance). To get a better oven spring, lightly score the bread’s surface before baking.
