Step 1
Mix well water, yeast, and sugar in a jug or in a bowl and let it rest until foamy (about 5 minutes).
Step 2
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
In the meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250F and turn it off.
Step 4
Add the liquid to the dry ingredients, add olive oil, and mix with a spoon or a spatula to incorporate the flour*. Mix well until no dry flour remains, but do not overmix.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or with cling film, then let rest in the warm oven for 30 minutes*.
Step 6
Take the dough out and preheat the oven to 440F° (forced fan).
Step 7
Gently scrape the edge of the bowl and pour the dough on a floured working surface. The dough is fluffy and a bit bubbly now, you don't want to deflate it.
Step 8
Dust the dough with flour and cut it into 10 portions as shown in the pictures above*.
Step 9
Gently roll out each portion, and keep dusting hands and surface with some flour if needed.
Step 10
Place each portion of dough (panino) on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Step 11
Bake for about 20 minutes. If you have a conventional oven (without a fan), just bake for 5 minutes longer until golden and crusty.
Step 12
Enjoy while they're still warm if possible, they're delicious!
