Panera Bread announces the return of fan-favorite Ciabatta Dippers to the menu. Available starting today at participating cafes nationwide, guests can enjoy the beloved French Dipper alongside the brand-new Chicken Pesto Dipper, both crafted on Panera’s rustic, crisp ciabatta bread. Inspired by the satisfying combination of sandwiches and soups that Panera guests already love, both are served with the perfect portion of soup for dipping.
Panera’s Ciabatta Dippers are available in two delectable, dippable duos for a limited time:
- French Dipper – A returning favorite sandwich dipping pair featuring tender, marinated steak, melty provolone and asiago cheese, and garlic aioli drizzle on Panera’s iconic Ciabatta paired with a dipping portion of Bistro French Onion Soup.
- NEW! Chicken Pesto Dipper – A new combination of grilled chicken, melty provolone and parmesan cheese, and basil pesto spread on Ciabatta paired with a dipping portion of Creamy Tomato Soup.
“Dipping sandwiches into soup is one of our guests’ favorite rituals and we love seeing it coming to life in our cafes every day,” said Mark Shambura, Chief Marketing Officer, Panera Bread. “That’s why we created Ciabatta Dippers – they make dipping easier, more delicious and more enjoyable. The French Dipper was a fan favorite when first launched last year, and now our new Chicken Pesto Ciabatta Dipper give guests another crave-worthy reason to ditch the spoon and embrace the dip.”
