Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the yeast and sugar with hot water. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes until foamy. That would be an indication that the yeast is active and ready.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, mix bread flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead about 8-10 minutes until smooth, elastic dough forms. If sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 or 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down light to remove the air. Divide into equal portions-mostly 8 to 12, depending on the size of a roll you prefer. Take each piece and roll into an oval-shaped form, tapering the ends a little for a classical hoagie shape. Second Rise: Place the formed rolls on a paper-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise again, about 30 to 45 minutes, until puffed. Add seeds and egg wash. Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Beat the egg; using a pastry brush, lightly coat each roll with the beaten egg. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you’d like, for flavor and texture. To make the rolls: Bake in a preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and crusty. A tap on the bottom should give a hollow sound. Keep cool and have fun: After taking the rolls out of the oven, let them cool a little on a wire rack. Your favorite sandwich filling goes inside the newly prepared hoagie bread!
