First, a panino is just a sandwich. But since they are Italian and homemade, these panini are exceptional!

In Italian, the noun panino  (plural is panini) is a diminutive of pane (‘bread’) and refers to a bread roll. Panino imbottito (‘stuffed panino’) refers to a sandwich, but the word panino is also often used alone to indicate a sandwich in general.

Let Eva and Harper explain. Since I’m not eating bread these days, this video was painful for me to watch. Can’t wait to try one or all of them!
