THE BEST SUPER SOFT AND CHEWY HOAGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• 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 Tablespoon of 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 2 cups of flour and the remaining cup of water. Start off on low. Mix for 4 minutes.
• Go to Step 1 of Recipe Continuation and follow the rest of the recipe
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook add in 2 cups of flour, water, sugar, and Instant Yeast. Start off on low. Mix for 4 minutes.
• Go to Step 1 of Recipe Continuation and follow the rest of the recipe.
• 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 up to 1/4 more cup of water (taking you up to a full 1 1/2 cups used) but add one Tablespoon at a time. The additional water will fully depend on how humid your room is.
• Add in the butter 1 Tablespoon at a time and mix until almost fully melded in before adding the next Tablespoon. In total, mix for 1-3 minutes or until the dough comes back together and the dough until it pulls completely away from the side and is smooth and shiny. Remove from bowl and transfer to a greased, covered bowl until doubled in size. ~1 hour.
• Punch the dough down and place it 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 the oven to 375 F. If you want to slash your bread, using a lame, make your slashes. If desired, brush with a 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″ Scalloped Bread Knife with Polypropylene Handle Pan )

HOMEMADE HOAGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large stand mixer, combine milk, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, egg and 3 cups flour. Knead on low until a smooth dough ball forms, adding more flour ¼ cup at a time to achieve desired texture. Your dough should be tacky, but not sticky.
• Transfer dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Roll dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick, and 24 inches wide. Cut the dough into 4 strips, about 6 inches wide on each.
• Roll strip up. Continue rolling gently until ends and seams are pinched together (otherwise it'll unroll in the baking process).
• Put rolls on a lightly greased jelly baking sheets. Let rise about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned.

THE BEST PHILLY STYLE ITALIAN HOAGIES

Steps:

• Slice the rolls lengthwise, cutting only half way through. Remove the thick, fluffy dough center of the bread and discard it. Set rolls aside.
• In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar and oregano; slowly add in the oil, whisking as you pour to emulsify the mixture.
• Drizzle a small amount of the oil/vinegar mixture on the rolls, then layer the cheese and meats.
• Top with the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, then peppers. Drizzle with additional oil/vinegar, cut in half, and serve!

SUBMARINE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice your sub bun in half in the middle.
• Fold the sliced meat in half and place them in threes on the sub bun (ham, turkey, beef) and then repeat until you've reached the end of the bun. In other words, it uses three slices of each in a pattern (ham, turkey, beef, ham, turkey, beef, etc). When you fold the sandwich closed, this gives you those nice layers you see in the picture.
• Add slices of provolone cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced onion and tomato.
• Drizzle with Italian Dressing (sub sauce) and serve.

• Also as an option-- I have added veggies to the inside (Onions, Peppers and Mushrooms)!

HOMEMADE HOAGIE ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water with the yeast and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes. Combine the milk, egg, and olive oil in a cup and whisk to blend. Add the milk and egg mixture to the yeast mixture along with the bread flour and salt. Mix by hand or with a dough hook until the dough comes together. Knead by hand or with the dough hook for about 8 minutes, adding more flour or water if necessary. The dough should be firm and smooth but slightly tacky to the touch.
• Grease a large bowl with olive oil .
• Gather the dough into a ball and put in the oiled bowl. Turn to grease all sides of the dough ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.
• Continue with the recipe or refrigerate overnight at this point. If you refrigerate overnight, let the dough come up to room temperature before shaping. 1 1/2 to 2 hours should be enough time.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper . Sprinkle lightly with cornmeal or semolina flour.
• Divide the dough into 10 portions, roughly 4 ounces each. Shape into 6-inch hoagie roll shapes and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Cover the rolls with a light towel and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425 F.
• With a baker's lame, sharp knife, or razor, cut a 1/4-inch-deep slit down the tops of the rolls just before they go in the oven.
• Put the rolls in the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 F.
• Bake the rolls for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan once about halfway through the baking time. The rolls will be about 195 F in the center when done. Or check by tapping on the bottom of a roll. It will sound hollow when done.
• Makes about 41 ounces of dough for about 10 sandwich rolls. Note: If you are making kaiser rolls with a kaiser roll stamp, shape the dough portions into balls, then flatten slightly. Press with the stamp firmly, but don't cut through the dough. Arrange the stamped rolls upside-down on the parchment paper. Before baking, turn them right-side-up, brush with egg wash if desired, and bake as above.

HOAGIE ROLL RECIPE (IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK)

Steps:

• Yeast: Dissolve 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast in a 1/3 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar and let sit for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture foams up and increases in volume just slightly. This ensures that the yeast is active and that the yeast will be easily incorporated into the dough. Omit this step if using instant yeast and just add it as-is in step 2 where it calls for the yeast mixture.
• Knead with a mixer: To a bowl of a stand mixer (if you'd like to make this dough in a bread maker see Note 1 at the bottom) add 3 1/2 cups flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp kosher salt, remaining warm water and the yeast mixture from step 1. Stir quickly with a spoon to bring all ingredients together. Then, attach a dough hook and knead for ~20 minutes on speed 3 (or low speed), or until the gluten is well developed. TIP: You'll know the gluten is developed when the dough is tacky to touch. DO NOT overknead the dough or the gluten fibers will break and the dough won't have the strength of the gluten network to hold in the air bubbles as it rises. This will give you doughy hoagie rolls that don't rise well.Next, add the room temperature butter and knead until fully incorporated (~2 minutes).Knead by hand: add all ingredients, together with the yeast mixture except for the butter to a large bowl and stir with a spoon to slightly bring everything together. Then, knead with your hands for about 15-20 minutes or until the dough is tacky to touch and is very stretchy when pulling a small piece into a pane. Add room temperature butter and knead until it's fully incorporated.
• Omit this step if you'd like to make the Quick Hoagie RollsProof: Transfer the dough to a well-oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and allow to proof until doubled in size in a warm (not higher than 100F°), draft-free place (~45 min - 1 hour). If you have a proofing option on your oven, use it. Otherwise, you can preheat your oven to 200F for 2-3 minutes, then turn it off and place your bowl with the dough in there. Make sure the oven is not hotter than 100F° or the yeast in the dough will die and the dough will not rise.
• Divide and shape:Turn out the dough onto a floured or oiled surface. Divide it into 6-8 equal pieces (or 4 if you're looking to make them XL). Use a kitchen scale if you'd like the hoagie rolls to be exactly the same size. Shape all of them into neat and tight balls. Using a rolling pin roll each ball into a 6"x4" rectangle (for 6 -8 rolls). Now, roll into a tight 6-inch roll, pinching the ends to seal. Set on a parchment-lined 16"x21" baking sheet seem side down spacing the rolls evenly. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow to proof until doubled in size (~30-45 min) in a warm place (you can do the oven trick again. Just remember to remove the proofed rolls from the oven when preheating the oven for baking).
• Bake:Preheat the oven to 375F°. Using a serrated knife score each roll about 1/4 inch deep, lengthwise. If you wish, you can brush the tops of the hoagies with an egg white lightly whisked with a small pinch of salt, or leave them as is. Place in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the outside is golden in color. If the hoagie rolls are baked through, the internal temprature reading should be 200F°.
• Remove from the oven to a cooling rack and cool for at least 20-30 minutes before cutting. , or until the hoagies are room temperature.

HOAGIES

Steps:

• Halve the rolls horizontally, leaving on edge cut to form a hinge, spread the mayonnaise on the cut sides of the rolls, and on the bottom halves of the rolls layer the lettuce, the onion, the salami, the capicola, the provolone, and the tomato. In a small bowl whisk together the oil, the vinegar, the orégano, the cherry peppers, and salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the dressing over the fillings, and cover the fillings with the top halves of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.

SONNY'S STEAK HOAGIE

Steps:

• For the hoagies:
• Preheat frying pan over medium-high heat. Cut the hoagie rolls horizontally to open up and make a pocket. Add the blended oil to the pan and stir in the onions. Put the steak on top of onions and add 1/2-ounce of the butter. Cover the pan for 2 1/2 minutes. The meat should have a cooked appearance on top and rare underneath. Using a fork and spatula separate steak from the onions. When the meat is cooked add the salt, remaining butter, and provolone. Cover to the pan to melt the cheese. Divide the steak mixture among the hoagie rolls and serve. If you like, you can add the optional ingredients to the steak mixture before serving.
