Description
Delightful homemade sub rolls with a fresh, fluffy texture that enhances any sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole Milk (90℉)
- 2 ½ Tablespoons Granulated Sugar (30g)
- 2 Teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (11g)
- 3 Cups Bread Flour
- 2 Teaspoons Fine Sea Salt (12g)
- 2 Eggs (Beaten)
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Cold, Cubed)
- 1 Egg White (Beaten – For Egg Wash)
- 1 Tablespoon Water (For Egg Wash)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it bloom for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- Combine the bread flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add the yeast mixture and beaten eggs to the flour and salt. Knead on low speed for 3 to 5 minutes until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add in the cold, cubed butter, and knead for an additional 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a tight ball. Grease a large bowl, turning the dough to coat, and let it rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into six equal pieces. Roll into individual dough balls.
- Roll each dough ball into a rectangle approximately 9 inches wide by 5 inches tall, and tightly roll into a loaf shape. Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Cover and let the dough rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 400°F.
- Brush the rolls with the egg white and water mixture, and score the dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown or internal temperature registers 195-200°F.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Brush the rolls with egg wash for a beautiful golden color. You can add herbs or spices for additional flavor.
