I’ve never actually made one, but a roast beef po’ boy from New Orleans is an effort. Think pot roast with deep, dark gravy, not sliced deli meat. They’re a mess to eat but TOTALLY worth it.
The recipes are wonderful. But what keeps us coming back to the channel are the relationship between you two and the constant loving banter that accompanies the food.
I love this couple and their dedication to authentic Italian food and recipes. I still have my grandmother's hand written recipe book she brought over on the boat from Sicily over 100 years ago.
Excited to watch a show on Italian sandwiches. Then I suddenly realize, "oh wow, that's right, she's going to make the bread from scratch 🤦🏽♀️". I need to get my bread making mojo going...god, I love this woman.
My grandfather worked at a bread factory in Brooklyn and would bring us bags of that Sicilian bread. He would also bring me pane panelle, my favorite sandwich stuffed with potato croquettes, ricotta and shredded parm. What a treat!
I am amazed at Ava's knowledge of Italian dishes and how to prepare them all, from soutern Italy to Northern Italy and east to west. She is a fountain of knowledge and a charming instructor. She makes cooking look fun and enjoyable. I did not know about so many of these meals. I love Italian food. For Italians, It's not about just whipping up dinner or supper, serving up the evening slop, no, with Italian's, it act of passion, an expression of their love of family and freinds. Ava is, "Magnifico !"
With so much gloom and bad news in the World, you two have made me smile and have filled my head with all the wonders of beautiful Italy. Grazie mille.
Thank you for the incredible hours you put into these videos, and the imaculate clean kitchen every step of the way! It is so appetising to see! Also, no jewelry when cooking…. Wonderful! Love you guys! 😊
In Northern Italy, we have some memorable paninis too, often sold at food stalls now popularly known as street food. Essential ingredients include grilled onions and bell peppers, which can make these paninis a bit hard to digest, hence they're often enjoyed with a cold Peroni or Nastro Azzurro beer.
Over the past few weeks, I've been making a lot of bread, trying to get back into it. These panini recipes are here at the exact correct time! The panino Napoletano looks insane!
OMIGOSH - I almost skipped this video. I am so glad that I did not - they look absolutely tantalizing, and that is high praise from me - a person who NEVER eats sandwiches here in America. Thank you for creating this video :)
I am a vegetarian who leans towards veganism, so I am glad that you included the chickpea sandwich. It is something that I will try, and including the potato croquettes actually makes sense to me.
These are not only sicilian, there are very similar chickpea paninis in Liguria and Tuscany as well 😊 I grew up with the Liguria ones (pane con le fette), I'm so obsessed❤
Oh Eva, your poor stand mixer!!! 😄 Thank you for all the amazing bread recipes; I am sure to try them all. Also, Harper has to be the luckiest man in the entire universe ... Eva is gorgeous AND an amazing, fantastic cook!
Yes. No food track. No any public services. Just making youtube videos at home. You are very big and important part of public society. Like every youtuber. 😂
That first bread utilizes the same recipe for pita bread, even the way it’s cooked! I can eat that fresh bread plain all day long but I have not had broccoli raab since we left the states. We cannot find the seeds to plant it here and it is one of our favorite veggies. Now combined with a good sausage, it has to be heaven! Really all three of these sandwiches made me hungry! ROAD TRIP TIME!
20:14 I know they’re very hard to find, but here in Napoli we also use cicoli, which are little cubes of pork fat to stuff the Panino Napoletano. They give a peculiar taste to the panino.
Spent some time in Sicily in1986 and have not had a pizza or calzone or panini to satisfy me since. Two things the bread and brick oven. Spent that Christmas in Rome ,it would take one person a year or more to try all the pastries. Enjoying.
Eva you are just delightful 😊 I used to have the kind of energy and enthusiasm you possess... I enjoy watching you and Harper more than you can imagine. Thank you for sharing your time with us today! ✨️ ♥️
You are a lucky one Harper, let me say.. Eva is an amazing italian chef, and your recipes, all of them, are delicious. Can you guys make a 4 cheeses lasagna, or some other recipe involving 4 cheeses.. Here's my request, thank you. Salutations from Brazil! Eu amo lasanha!
Broccoli rabe has been my favorite sandwich since childhood. Before I was old enough to use the stove, I'd beg my mom to make it for me as a lunch or snack.She always looked a little surprised (and granted, I guess it is an odd request from a little kid) but I think was grateful that I didn't want Twinkies etc like my friends. Lots of good chats at the kitchen table over those sandwiches ❤️
Sunday morning is one of my favorite days because of your videos ❤ You bring a smile to my face and make my heart lighter for a bit. 🥰 They joy I see on your faces is so genuine,and it just makes me happy ☺️ I love seeing Harper’s eyes light up at every single sandwich. The excitement could be felt through my screen. These sandwiches ladies and gentlemen are exactly, a perfect example of why Italians are so much healthier than Americans. Their bread is made with a few ingredients for example and the bread here can have up to 20 ingredients, things in it you can’t even pronounce. It’s horrible to me. The sandwiches aren’t smothered in mayonnaise, ( which has its own laundry list of ingredients) or other sauces. By the time the sauces have been smothered on a sandwich you can’t even tell what your “filling” tastes like. If I knew what I do now, I would have moved to Italy in my 20’s and never moved back here. That you for such a great video, thank you for starting my Sunday off with joy. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your amazing receipes as usual. With the title panini, i was expecting something else. In the region of Nice, France, a panini is a rectangle bread stuffed with various ingredients but always mozzarella. This sandwich is warmpressed and given hot cheesy. Aslo, as a round bread sandwich, i only knew the pan-bagnat made always with the same ingredients with olive oil between a round great type of bread.
I tried this today with my sour dough starter and it’s absolutely amazing, it’s the best panini I’ve ever had😋😋😋 my goodness, Italian does eat so well ❤ thank you so much to share this , ur wonderful 😘
As an Italian born in the uk you have introduced me to real regional Italian food o know some of them but a lot I don’t my tobacco growing family come from paduli benevento o will have to try all these breads Madonna🎅👍👍👍😊
Those look amazing, I wouldn't know where to start! Thank you for giving Sicilian recipes throughout, it's been fun learning about all the regions though.
Eva!!! You outdo yourself each time. I loved all the recipes, but the first one - broccoli rabe! Sausage! Hollow bread = more filling, less gluten!!! Win, win, win- would be my first pick in a line up! Napoli would be my least due to high gluten flour (intolerant)
These are some inspiring breads and paninis….I can’t wait to get baking. If only I didn’t have an engagement party to go to in a couple hours….😭 Thank you both, Eva and Harper for the effort in make the food and creating these videos you both put! You both are amazing! ❤
PANELL! Or panece. I make panell, every day, for a vegetarian “stax” entree’ at our restaurant. My right arm is HUGE from cooking POUNDS of this dough😊with a whip. It requires CONSTANT stirring to avoid burning. The original, I use parmesano reggiano and fresh parsley. Spread out, while still hot, on sheet pans, cover with plastic wrap then cool
Removing the bread from the oven like a boss! Reminds me of the days my Mom and Gran used to do the same, old hands use to hard work. Love the recipe thank you.
Back in my hometown, near Napoli, my local favorite pub had the mindblowing PANINO P with all the ingredients having namea starting with P: provola, porchetta, parmigiana di melanzane and pesto. Is probably my all time favorite panino.
no potatoes? the way i usually have it myself is provola, porchetta, potatoes/crocché and mushrooms(champignon or porcini, both work) works best in a saltimbocca(the neapolitan one, not the roman one)
It’s great to see you both doing so well. The sandwiches looked delicious! I was stationed in Sigonella Sicily for two years with the navy. I ate wonderful food there and the panini sandwiches were always pressed and also had mozzarella cheese in them.
Thank you so much! I’ll use your video to show my friends that you don’t need mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, or “cheese” (I use quotes because what they eat isn’t cheese at all) and prove that I’m not the only one who thinks this way. Your videos (and simple sandwiches) are greatly appreciated ❤
Incredibly delicious! Have been following you ever since my late friend Leo told me about your channel. In his honor I had to post and say thank you for all the wonderful eating you’ve brought my family!
I was amazed that Italian also makes makes sandwich filling made of chickpea flour. Mafalda reminds me of Mumbai's Vada Pav - sandwich with filling of boiled potato balls/disc coated with chickpea flour paste that was fried. Eaten with chutneys.
In Uruguay it is popular to eat fainá (farinata) with/as an appetizer before pizza. It's usually grilled/baked in a pizza oven, but now that I know you can take more or less the same stuff and fry it, I know panelle are something I need to try.
What I have found interesting about these bread recipes that Eva makes is the method. I was taught that baking recipes are formulas. Therefore, unlike cooking where you can alter quantities, ingredients need to be exact. So, to see Eva use pinches of salt instead of weighing blows my mind.
Grazie per far conoscere ad un audience internazionale la mia amata puccia pugliese! Noi pugliesi ti ringraziamo. E anche il pane e panelle da vegana non posso che approvare! ❤❤❤
Was the first egg brush, before the rising, done automatically, by mistake? And only brushing before going to oven needed? Seemed like that was the case, and I was wondering about the raw egg on room temperature for an hour.
Oh my goodness! These videos always make me hungry. For the Panino Napoletano can you use all 10% or 12% flour rather than a mix of regular and high protein? What is the benefit of a mix rather than finding a flour with the correct protein content to begin with.
When it comes to a special bread. I can never forget the fluffiness in the crispness of the Italian of t Sicilian ring loaf. I've only had a true one once in my life. I don't think Martha Stewart can come up with one. Please prove me wrong.
Do you have a favorite sandwich that maybe takes a little more effort, but is totally worth it? Let us know and we'll try to give it a shot!
Has Eva ever had a Reuben?
I’ve never actually made one, but a roast beef po’ boy from New Orleans is an effort. Think pot roast with deep, dark gravy, not sliced deli meat. They’re a mess to eat but TOTALLY worth it.
Cubans are pretty amazing. I've eaten a lot of them during the almost 21 years I've lived in Florida. Has Eva tried a true Cuban?
My all time favorite sandwich a grilled Reuben , new york
Tony Bourdain's favorite sandwich: fried mortadella and sharp provolone is great!
The recipes are wonderful. But what keeps us coming back to the channel are the relationship between you two and the constant loving banter that accompanies the food.
I love this couple and their dedication to authentic Italian food and recipes. I still have my grandmother's hand written recipe book she brought over on the boat from Sicily over 100 years ago.
That IS a true treasure!
That's so cool! Please upload it online so others can see!
How this channel is not at a million subscribers is beyond me. Bravi ❤

I love Mortadella so much, I leaned to make my own.... with extra pistachios.
Making another soon.
I love watching Eva make bread. I fell off the bread horse years ago and was traumatized but watching her is inspiring me to get back on!
With so much gloom and bad news in the World, you two have made me smile and have filled my head with all the wonders of beautiful Italy. Grazie mille.
I lost it with the shot of the stand mixer and “all by myself🎶” on the audio! I love their sense of humor 😂
Thank you for the incredible hours you put into these videos, and the imaculate clean kitchen every step of the way! It is so appetising to see! Also, no jewelry when cooking…. Wonderful! Love you guys! 😊
But it's ok for Ava to wear her long hair down when cooking as long as the kitchen is clean 🤣🤣🤣
@@rellyperrone6593You're not eating it. Who cares. Besides, it needs some lettuce, tomato and cheese.
In Northern Italy, we have some memorable paninis too, often sold at food stalls now popularly known as street food. Essential ingredients include grilled onions and bell peppers, which can make these paninis a bit hard to digest, hence they're often enjoyed with a cold Peroni or Nastro Azzurro beer.
Pane e Panelle from Sicily is just amazing.
So simple, so tasto!
All the best stuff is the simplest stuff, not so much the preparation but the ingredients. I'm always amazed at Eva's culinary skills and knowledge!
Over the past few weeks, I've been making a lot of bread, trying to get back into it. These panini recipes are here at the exact correct time! The panino Napoletano looks insane!
I just started noticing that she pours the water in to her doughs over her hands. What a great idea!
It makes sense dosent it❤
OMIGOSH - I almost skipped this video. I am so glad that I did not - they look absolutely tantalizing, and that is high praise from me - a person who NEVER eats sandwiches here in America. Thank you for creating this video :)
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I am a vegetarian who leans towards veganism, so I am glad that you included the chickpea sandwich. It is something that I will try, and including the potato croquettes actually makes sense to me.
You could make all of these vegan, so many options!
Don't procrastinate good health. Go back to meat while you're still young.
These are not only sicilian, there are very similar chickpea paninis in Liguria and Tuscany as well 😊 I grew up with the Liguria ones (pane con le fette), I'm so obsessed❤
Oh Eva, your poor stand mixer!!! 😄 Thank you for all the amazing bread recipes; I am sure to try them all. Also, Harper has to be the luckiest man in the entire universe ... Eva is gorgeous AND an amazing, fantastic cook!
Feel free to donate a new one 😝
Thank you for showing a picture of my town, Alberobello, when you mentioned Puglia!!!! The local panino is pasqualino: salami, provola and tuna fish.
Yes. No food track. No any public services. Just making youtube videos at home.
You are very big and important part of public society. Like every youtuber. 😂
Being a Salento's citizen I can confirm that puccia is my way to go. 😗👌🏼

Thank you for the picture of Cefalu, Sicily. I miss it. It's a beautiful town...the beach, the mountain, the people.😂😂😂
I grew up eating escarole sandwiches. Sometimes with sausage and shallow fried sliced potatoes, mostly on its own. This was a lovely video.
Spent some time in Sicily in1986 and have not had a pizza or calzone or panini to satisfy me since. Two things the bread and brick oven. Spent that Christmas in Rome ,it would take one person a year or more to try all the pastries. Enjoying.
You took the words right out of my head with your food truck comment! Those paninos look so delicious, each and every one. Thanks for sharing!😊
Great video. and Eva makes it look so effortless. I’ve got to try the Napletano bread with the stuffing asap!
Eva you are just delightful 😊 I used to have the kind of energy and enthusiasm you possess... I enjoy watching you and Harper more than you can imagine. Thank you for sharing your time with us today! ✨️ ♥️

Yum! We love mortadella in New Orleans. I have been watching ya'll for years now and I am never disappointed by any video. Keep it up! I love it!

I save all your recipes, I can’t believe how delicious everything you make is. ❤
My best panino was with olive oil salt and half squashed ripe tomato.

My favorite sandwich is a toasted sourdough tuna sandwich. I'm simple.
Joe's of Avenue U in Brooklyn have been making panelle forever. They used to have a second location on Staten Island, but that closed down.
best cook on youtube
The last ones Ava made are spectacular. I could see myself grossly over indulging
Kitchen aid is sweet, but you should check out the Kenwood mixers, they are amazing and made for a cooks kitchen.
Ava is brilliant a brilliant so intelligent not to mention beautiful.
👍🏻 bread amazing panini
What I have found interesting about these bread recipes that Eva makes is the method. I was taught that baking recipes are formulas. Therefore, unlike cooking where you can alter quantities, ingredients need to be exact. So, to see Eva use pinches of salt instead of weighing blows my mind.
Love all these. Especially the last one!!
Puccia with octopus and vegetables it's a classic.
I love you guys 🤗❤️❤️ thank you Eva🌹for teaching me how to cook like a pro Italian chef 👩🍳 😊
Just made the Puccia!! Yummy
Brava
I often eat a breakfast with the broccoli rab , sausage and over medium eggs with a spicy sauce soo good !
A panino of canned tuna, capers, hard boiled egg, onion, maybe tomato, et cetera is a classic.
Ava’s face always tells the story. 👏🏻
That looks fantastic!!!
Grazie per far conoscere ad un audience internazionale la mia amata puccia pugliese! Noi pugliesi ti ringraziamo. E anche il pane e panelle da vegana non posso che approvare! ❤❤❤

Love your videos- thanks for sharing ❤
Pitta with pipi e patati is my absolute favourite, and it's vegan too!
Oh my gosh, yes… 🤤
wow so yummy looking
Started off with My absolute favorite 😍
Ava deserves an awesome and relaxing massage!!! Bravo on all these once again ❤😊
I never thought I could make them but I'm going to try it...
Fantastic video! I want to make all of these! See you soon
I have to return to Naples-the last time was in October 2019. And I have to make the Panino Napoletano...😋!!!
I’ve never made bread 😱Eva makes it look so easy! Maybe one day🙄
Thank you 🙂👍👍
Was the first egg brush, before the rising, done automatically, by mistake? And only brushing before going to oven needed? Seemed like that was the case, and I was wondering about the raw egg on room temperature for an hour.
Oh my goodness!!! I’m Sooooooo hungry now!!!😋 they All look amazing!!!
Amazing!!
Last Friday I had a kind of pitta stuffed with salami and eggs. Sooo goood.
Sundried tomato and golden currant “jam” is KILLER on these
Oh my goodness! These videos always make me hungry. For the Panino Napoletano can you use all 10% or 12% flour rather than a mix of regular and high protein? What is the benefit of a mix rather than finding a flour with the correct protein content to begin with.
Wow! I would love to try them all!
Thanks❤for this perfect recipe. Can I use sourdough starter instead of yeast?
When it comes to a special bread. I can never forget the fluffiness in the crispness of the Italian of t Sicilian ring loaf. I've only had a true one once in my life. I don't think Martha Stewart can come up with one. Please prove me wrong.
Eva is an amazing cook wow
The idea of your chickpea polenta fried reminds me of falafel balls.
