Homemade Hoagie Rolls
Homemade hoagie rolls are soft, light, and tender with a subtle sweetness that complements any filling. Perfect for subs, meatball sandwiches, or any sandwich creation, these rolls are easy to make and rival those from the bakery.
Equipment
- Stand mixer with dough hook or bread machine
- Large mixing bowl
- Kitchen scale
- Plastic wrap or damp cloth
- Baking sheet with rim
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush
- (Optional) Bread lame or sharp knife, cooling rack
Ingredients
- 400 grams bread flour
- 6 grams instant yeast
- 2 grams sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 5 grams salt
- 10 grams vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- Cornmeal for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix milk, warm water, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until combined.
- In another bowl, combine bread flour, vital wheat gluten (optional), salt, and instant yeast.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Perform a windowpane test to check gluten development.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape into smooth, oval rolls.
- Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with melted butter or egg wash.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. For a shiny crust, create steam by placing a shallow pan of hot water in the oven.
- Cool rolls on a wire rack before serving.
