Hoagie Rolls

Makes 6 - 8 hoagies

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon Red Star® Active Dry Yeast
1 tablespoons C&H® Granulated Sugar
1 tablespoon honey
3 3/4 cups King Arthur® All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
3 tablespoons Land O’Lakes® Unsalted Butter, cubed
1 egg white
1 tablespoon milk

Directions

In a small bowl, add the warm water, yeast, sugar, and honey. Allow to foam up for about 5 to 10 minutes.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the flour and the yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix for 4 minutes on low.

Increase the speed to medium and add the salt, mixing for another 3 minutes.

Finally, add the cold butter, one tablespoon at a time and mix for another minute or two after each addition.

Continue to mix until no pieces of butter remain. The dough will firm up and be silky and all butter will be incorporated.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning over to coat, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours.

Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and shape the dough into 6 - 8 hoagies depending on size preference. Flatten each piece into a rectangle, fold one end up like an envelope, turn 180 degrees and fold up the other end over the first. Repeat until you've formed a hoagie and pinch shut the seam and end seams.

Place seam side down on the parchment and repeat with remaining dough.

Cover lightly with a towel and allow to rise another 1 to 2 hours.

Whisk together the egg white and milk. Using a razor blade, make a slit down the top of each roll. Brush each top with the egg mixture.

Preheat the oven to 375℉, place the hoagie rolls on the baking pan and bake for 16 to 22 minutes.

Remove from the oven when they are lightly golden and feel hard when you tap the crust.

Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

• The bread is hard upon removal but quickly softens, so don't worry that you over baked.
• Right after brushing with the egg and milk, you can add sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
