Panini is a type of Italian sandwich bread baked in small loaves so that the entire loaf can be used for each sandwich.
In Italian language, panini is only the plural form of panino, a small bread often horizontally cut and filled with salami, ham, meat, cheese or other food.
The Panini sandwich was invented accidently by Nunzio Panini, the son of an Italian Grocer. He originally placed grilled eggplant and fresh goat cheese between two slices of foccacia bread, to discover what is now an Italian delicacy.
"Panini" is also a brand of grill made specifically for grilling these sandwiches.
