No-Knead Panini Bread Fresh from the Oven

This no-knead panini bread is incredibly easy to make and yields a crusty, flavorful loaf perfect for sandwiches. Enjoy freshly baked panini bread with minimal effort!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant or rapid-rise yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
  • Olive oil, for coating

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add the warm water and stir until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 12 hours, or up to 18 hours.
  4. After the resting period, generously flour a work surface. Gently turn the dough out onto the floured surface.
  5. Shape the dough into a rectangle roughly the size of your panini press.
  6. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your panini press according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Brush the plates of the panini press with olive oil.
  8. Carefully transfer the dough to the preheated panini press. Press until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and using for panini.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the bread with garlic-infused olive oil before pressing.
