Dear SOS: I am hoping that you can obtain the panini bread recipe from Basix Cafe in West Hollywood. My husband loves it so.

Dear Belinda: Here it is.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the yeast in a large bowl and add the warm water. Mix on slow speed until combined. Add the honey and mix well.
In a separate bowl, thoroughly mix the salt and flour. Slowly add to the yeast mixture, mixing well to form a dough.
Remove the dough from the bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Knead by hand for 10 minutes. The dough should not be sticky; if it is, add more flour by the tablespoon.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces and gently roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls on the baking sheets and let rise in a dry, warm place until about double in size, 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the bread until golden brown, 35 minutes.
