Sub rolls (looking for recipes)

[mjd]

I am thinking about having meatball subs for dinner/supper this week. Does anyone have a great sub roll recipe? I prefer tried-n-true.

Thanks in advance!

You're going to laugh, but I usually use that hamburger bun recipe I posted earlier. I just reshape them into sub rolls. I use that recipe for hot dog buns and brat buns as well.

I nearly posted that same reply, but thought I'd leave it to you, lol.

You both made me LOL. As I was typing the question, I was thinking "the only difference in a hamburger bun and hot dog bun is the shape". Too funny! I'll post results when I'm done. Thanks!

Oh wait. Still have a question. I halved the recipe for hamburger buns. Should I do that to have 4 sub rolls?

You two made me think of this meme I saw a couple weeks ago.

I wouldn't. A sub roll is usually a bit more bread than a burger bun (at least in my house).

Ah, but does it give that nice crusty... um, crust of a sub roll?

When I think of a sub roll, or hoagie roll -- or even PoBoy roll in NOLA, I think of a fluffy inside, and a crunchy crust like Amoroso's.

Tasty, if you are up to the challenge, find a copy-cat recipe and test it out for us.

It would probably improve the crust to give it the baguette treatment - stick a pan of boiling water in there and mist the buns a few times.

I found this web page. I understood half of it. Check it out, and see what you think.

I would like a harder crust because the marinara sauce tends to drown the bread quickly. It's one reason I wanted to try them at home instead of buying them.

That article I linked said to coat your rolls before baking with egg white or with egg white and milk to get a "firmer" crust.

That's a lot of info to get through. I understand it, it's similar to making baguettes, but I would probably lose my patience with that recipe at some point.

I am an avid reader and still had to go through it a few times. My brain fog is growing exponentially! Frankly, I got lost when you posted "stick a pan of boiling water in there". LOL
