Method
- Prepare all ingredients. In a stand mixer bowl with paddle attachment, add the eggs, milk, sugar, and crumbled fresh yeast. Mix briefly.
- Add the flour mixture (Manitoba or type 0, and type 00). Knead until the dough comes together, then switch to the dough hook.
- Add salt and continue kneading until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the lard (or butter), a little at a time, and knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and non-sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, give it a final knead, and shape into a smooth ball.
- Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little lard or oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size.
- Once risen, transfer to a floured surface. Optionally roll out the entire dough or divide into two portions for different fillings. Roll each portion into a rectangle.
- For the classic filling: spread mixed cured meats (salumi) and smoked provola on the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into pieces of desired size.
- For the second filling: spread cooked sausages, fried potatoes, and provola, then roll and cut similarly.
- Place the pieces on a baking tray. Let them rise again for about 1-1.5 hours.
- Before baking, beat an egg with a little milk and brush the tops.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden (time not specified in video).
- After baking, brush the panini with seed oil or extra virgin olive oil for shine.
- Serve warm.
