Trapizzino, a cross between pizza and panini, is typically sold as an Italian street food. The sandwich is composed of focaccia or a similar thick bread that’s stuffed with a filling. At Roman Candle Baking Co. the kitchen creates a filling of tuna mixed with avocados, pickles and eggs. A roasted scallion vinaigrette is brushed on the bread before it’s stuffed with the tuna mixture.
