What it is
This is a long, soft bread roll specifically designed for making steak and cheese sandwiches. It has a tender interior and a slightly chewy crust, perfect for holding generous amounts of steak, cheese, and other toppings. The shape is ideal for a handheld meal. It is a convenient base for a popular hot sandwich.
How people cook with it
These rolls are the foundation for delicious steak and cheese subs. They are also versatile enough for other hearty sandwich creations.
- Steak and cheese sandwiches
- Philly cheesesteaks
- Meatball subs
- Sausage and pepper sandwiches
To prepare, slice the roll lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a hinge. Lightly toast or warm the inside of the roll in an oven or on a griddle for added texture and to prevent sogginess. Fill generously with your cooked steak, melted cheese, and desired vegetables or sauces. The soft interior absorbs flavors beautifully. It is best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard baguette, this roll is softer and more yielding, making it easier to bite into when filled. It lacks the crisp crust of a French roll, offering a more tender eating experience that complements the fillings without being overly tough.
Who it is for
Home cooks and sandwich enthusiasts who enjoy making classic hot subs at home.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion of the roll in a sealed plastic bag or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out. For longer storage, you can freeze the rolls.
