Homemade Restaurant-Quality Sub Buns that Don't Suck! Making BIG & Soft Hoagie Rolls from Scratch

Рет қаралды 36,771

Күн бұрын

Today in the Great Lakes Kitchen we're making some huge, amazing sandwich buns. It drives me crazy how the hoagie rolls at the grocery store are about 6 inches long (not to mention dry and crumbly). But when I buy a giant hoagie from a deli or sub shop, the buns are soft and pliable and a bit chewy. They're durable enough to hold all the sandwich ingredients, but still soft and pliable.
So for a couple years I've been working to make large, restaurant-quality sub buns at home, and now I'm sharing the results with you. It's hoagie time!

I run a hot dog stand and make some of my own stuff, mainly chili and NY onion sauce. I serve brats and Italian sausage on sub rolls and everyone absolutely loves them. They are a little pricey through $3.50 for 6. I’m thinking I could probably make 4-6 sub rolls from this recipe. I really enjoy making my own pasta noodles and pizza crusts, so I may just implement making my own buns and rolls. Problem is a go through about 50 buns and sub rolls combined a day. But since I enjoy doing this anyway, it might also be cheaper.

Maybe you could make part of them and freeze them. I freeze my rolls before the Holidays, that might help.

Never had problems with imperial measures, usually people scoop compacting the flour use a spoon to fill the cup

@GreatLakesPrepping Ай бұрын

That can definitely help. But ultimately it's not about imperial vs. metric. It's about measuring volume vs. measuring weight. With ingredients that can be compact, loose, or anywhere in between, it's near impossible to perfectly and consistently measure by volume.

I just made these and they turned out great! Made a couple of adjustments to suit me. I used Oatly oat milk in place of cows milk, and it worked just fine. I also didn't knead by hand (can't with my arthritic hands), I just gave the dough a few folds in the bowl, turned it inside out a couple of times and did another 10 minutes in the mixer. I also doubled the quantity on everything to make 4 footlong buns. Excellent result. Great recipe. I have no idea what diastatic malt is, or what it does, but this has been my best hoagie roll to date, so it must be doing something!

I can’t thank you enough for sharing this video. I made this recipe just as you showed and my sub rolls were perfect and delicious! I’ve searched and tried a few sub roll recipes that were total failures and not what I’ve been looking for. Your recipe was an absolute hit for me. I’m making mini sub rolls for a party. You can’t buy them and I know it’ll be less expensive to make them. Next I’ll perfect shaping them, though I came pretty close on my first attempt. Thank you again!

I made these tonight for some sausage and pepper subs. They turned out great. The family loved them. I didn't have 2% milk, so I was forced to use skim milk. Still came out great. Next time I'll be sure to have the correct milk on hand. Thanks for sharing.

I’m trying the recipe without it as it’s a bit too hard and expensive to get ahold of in my country. I’ve just set it to proof for the first 1.5 hours so I can let you know how it goes if you’d like. I also just used AP Flour (and 3.5% fat milk).

Everything went well for me except the cooking stage as we have a newer oven that is a combo regular/convection oven, and such ovens do NOT have a burner element in the bottom like an older oven, there is a fan in the rear wall of the oven where the heat emanates from, whether you use the convection oven mode or not. So. . . , my buns came out quite dark and much more done than I wanted, I may have to experiment with a lower cooking temp or shorter cooking time. I tried various shapes and that went well, took half the dough and made 2 hoagie longer buns, made 4 buns out of half the dough, 2 round, which came out nice looked just like a hamburger bun, and 2 longer buns. However, it all was overdone, much too crunchy on the outside.

@GreatLakesPrepping 4 ай бұрын

That's a bummer. I don't ever use the convection feature on my stove, but I know it tends to reduce bake time by a notable amount. There is probably a way for you to use only the bake function and not the convection in yours. Otherwise, yea, you'll need to figure out how to adjust the time.

cant you just let it stay mixing in the mixer longer VS kneading it by hand for 15 minutes?

@GreatLakesPrepping 2 ай бұрын

You can. My personal experience with this leads me to doing some of it by hand, but the results should be decent if you just keep going with the mixer.

@cooltechno360 Жыл бұрын

I tried this, followed everything exactly to the recipe, I added 265ml of 1.8% milk (recipe called for 265g of milk). I ended up with a very wet dough even after kneading by hand for 25 minutes so I had to add much more flour to get it to the slightly tacky state as in your video? I am in the UK so maybe flour is different here?? Anyway I really appreciate your great detailed video, just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had any advice? Thanks!

@MoeCou 10 ай бұрын

Water is the same in mls and grams, but milk is not. It is heavier than water, so 265ml of milk weighs approx 275 grams. Ten extra grams of liquid made your dough too wet.

Can I just use my stand mixer to do all the kneading for about 15-20 minutes instead of using my hands. Thanks in advance

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

You can do it that way. Though in my experience, my dough doesn't come out as well if I only use the stand mixer. I'm not sure why, when I know people use kitchen aid mixers all the time for this reason. But at a certain point, it doesn't seem like it's really kneading anymore, but rather the dough hook is just twisting the lump of dough round and round. Maybe the bigger mixers do a better job than the one I have. Anyhow, for me, with my mixer, my results are much worse if I use only the mixer for kneading and don't do a bunch of it by hand.
