  • 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.”
