The Best Super Soft and Chewy Hoagie Rolls

bread

Tbl sugar

instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp of RedStar Platinum Yeast)

tsp kosher salt

Tbl butter,

If using Active Dry Yeast (not the Instant I use) you have to proof the yeast first. Add the Active Dry Yeast, sugar and 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbl warm water in a bowl of a stand mixer.

Using a whisk or spoon, mix and set aside for 5-10 minutes or until the yeast has bubbled quite a bit.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (this would be the same bowl your yeast mixture is in) add in 2 cups of flour and remaining cup of water. Start off on low. Mix for 4 minutes.

Add in the salt and 1 cup at a time of the remaining flour and mix for 5-6 minutes until the dough is slack (See note). At this point, your mixer should be at medium speed. If your dough, after 5-6 minutes is not slack add in a bit more water (2-4 Tbl). The additional water will fully depend on how humid your room is.

Add in the butter 1 Tbl at a time and mix until almost fully melded in before adding the next Tbl.  In total, mix for 1-3 minutes or until the dough comes back together. Remove from bowl and transfer to a greased, covered bowl until doubled in size. ~1 hour.

Punch the dough down and place on a very lightly floured board. Divide into 4-8 pieces and shape. I would advise using as little flour as possible when shaping these. The more flour you add, the tougher the hoagies will be. Transfer to a parchment lined tray and cover with lightly sprayed plastic wrap. Allow to rise again until almost doubled. ~30-45 minutes. Do NOT overproof them otherwise they will fall flat.

Preheat oven to 375 F. If you want to slash your bread, using a lame, make your slashes. If desired, brush with coating of choice and bake for 16-23 minutes or until golden brown. To ensure doneness, test the internal bread temp. It should be at 200F.

Allow to cool before cutting with a quality bread knife ( Sani-Safe S162-8SC-PCP 8&#8243; Scalloped Bread Knife with Polypropylene Handle Pan )

Excellent recipe and well explained! I can’t get my logs as pretty as the picture, but the taste is on point!!

The BEST soft and chewy bread roll for hoagies/submarine/grinders. Pillowy soft rolls that are begging to be filled with deliciousness!

Hi again!  I made these last Sunday and used 1/2 tsp of salt as you suggested. I also used unsalted butter.  To add a little flavor I used a little garlic powder.  I figured the sodium was around 140mg each roll and I am happy with that (I made 4 large rolls).  I am so pleased with the results.  Rolls had a good rise, wonderful texture, nice crust, and good color.  I am so happy you helped me.  This is a keeper.  Thanks!

Great recipe when you need bread the same day.  Easy to follow and thorough instructions. A keeper for sure.

We used this recipe tonight for homemade meatball subs and it was fantastic.  I will definitely use again and plan on trying it for other meal ideas as well.

This is an awesomely delicious and easy recipe! I’ve added some diastatic malt powder and a little wheat gluten which really leveled up the flavor and crust. It’s our go to hoagie recipe. I’ve stopped buying bread at the grocery store and my family loves using these hoagie buns for most sandwiches.

I just made these, the flavor and texture were outstanding. The rolls came out a little flat. I plan to try again using a little less water.

I just made this recipe.  OMG, what great flavor and texture!  I just need more practice forming them.  Perfect texture and chew.  This recipe would make great tasting diner rolls too!!!  A small 6-inch hot dog bun takes about 113-115 grams of dough.  I wanted to start smaller but next time, going for it with your weights.

Made this recipe again today.  for my liking, I prefer a smaller roll so I used 113-115 grams dough per roll.  Makes 8 that-a-way.  So good!

I wanted to make homemade Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and really needed a homemade hoagie recipe.  I saw this and tried it today.  OMG, they turned out delicious!!!  I will be using this recipe again!! Thanks!!

Pork and Melted Cheese Hoagies

pork

garlic powder

onion powder

salt

black pepper

French Rolls

butter, (at room temperature)

olive oil, (divided)

sweet onion, (sliced thinly)

red bell pepper, (seeded and sliced thinly)

green bell pepper, (seeded and sliced thinly)

white American cheese

Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the chopped pork in a bowl. Combine the seasonings, and then sprinkle the seasonings over the pork and toss to coat. Set aside.

SEASON THE PORK:

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Swirl in tablespoon of oil and add the onion and bell peppers.  Sauté until the peppers are softened and the onions are golden- 15 to 20 minutes.

Butter the rolls and place them butter-side-up on a baking sheet.  Heat in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the rolls begin to crisp on the edges. Watch closely- you don&#039;t want them to burn!

Heat a second skillet over medium-high heat.  Swirl in a tablespoon of oil and add the pork.  Cook the pork in the pan until cooked through on both sides- stirring as needed to move the pork around.  Spoon the pork into a bowl.  Wipe out the pan.  Move the pork back into the pan and turn heat to medium.  Cover the pork with the American cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan on top.  Cover the pan and let the cheese melt.  When all is melted, stir the pork with the cheese.
