Preparation
- Slice the ciabatta bread into sandwich-sized portions.
- Prepare and slice the cheeses, and have your tomato sauce ready.
- Pat the roasted peppers and sautéed mushrooms dry to reduce moisture.
Assembling the Pizza Panini
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly over the bottom bread slices.
- Add a layer of fresh mozzarella and provolone slices on top of the sauce.
- Place pepperoni, roasted red peppers, and sautéed mushrooms over the cheeses.
- Sprinkle fresh basil leaves and dried oregano on top of the fillings.
- Add a little extra cheese on top for binding.
- Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices.
- Brush the outside of each sandwich lightly with olive oil.
Cooking
- Preheat your panini press or skillet over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich into the press or skillet and weigh it down with a lid or a heavy pan.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway if using a skillet, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and let the panini rest for a minute before slicing.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
