Hannaford Multigrain Panini Loaf
What it is
This is a pre-sliced loaf of bread specifically designed for making paninis. It is made with a blend of different grains, contributing to its texture and flavor. The loaf is typically soft on the inside with a slightly firmer crust, ideal for pressing and toasting. Its shape and density are optimized for holding fillings and achieving a satisfying panini.
How people cook with it
This bread is perfect for creating delicious and hearty sandwiches. It holds up well to grilling and pressing, making it a versatile choice for many sandwich creations.
- Grilled cheese sandwiches
- Pressed Italian subs
- Chicken pesto paninis
- Vegetable and hummus wraps
To make a panini, place your desired fillings between two slices of the multigrain bread. You can add cheese, meats, vegetables, and spreads. Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, you can place the sandwich in the skillet and then place a heavy pan or pot on top to press it down. Grill for several minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and toasted, and the cheese is melted and gooey. The bread's texture allows it to become delightfully crispy on the outside while remaining tender within.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard sandwich bread, this panini loaf is denser and has a more robust structure, preventing it from becoming soggy under pressure. The multigrain composition also offers a nuttier flavor profile and a more varied texture than white or whole wheat breads.

How to keep the rest
