I see myself making these at least once a week. No more store-bought rolls for us! Many thanks!! ~ Lars

A few years ago The Man of the House (TMOTH) asked if I could make hoagie rolls. Hoagie rolls? I didn’t have a recipe, but I told him I’d check it out.

I found and adapted Pammy’s Hoagies recipe. Now we’ve got hoagie rolls!

These beauties are so soft. They’re perfect for sandwiches. Just how you refer to that sandwich depends on where you’re from.

You might call it a hoagie or a Cuban sandwich or a grinder. Some people would say it’s a hero, Italian sandwich, sub or torpedo. And don’t even get me started on weather the correct term is poor boy or po’boy!

Whatever name you use, these homemade hoagie rolls will do you proud in a sandwich!

How to Make Homemade Hoagie Rolls with a Bread Machine

I make the below recipe in my two-pound machine. It makes six hoagie rolls. Note that you’ll be using the dough setting.

Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. I have a Zojirushi machine and with that I add the liquids first.

Again, you’ll be using the dough setting.

This dough may not form a smooth, round ball as it’s being kneaded. It can look a little too wet. For this recipe, that’s okay.

When the dough is done put it on a lightly floured board and divide it into two equal sections. Then divide each of the two sections into three pieces. The goal is to get 6 balls of dough about the same size.

I use my bench scraper to help handle the dough.

Here’s the bench scraper in action with challah dough.

Form the balls of dough into elongated ovals and place those on a greased cookie sheet.

Score or cut the rolls. The official tool for this is a lame. Before I bought my lame, I used a bread knife to score the rolls.

Cover the rolls with a clean, light-weight kitchen towel and let the dough rise for half an hour. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in an oven preheated to 400 degrees. The rolls should be lightly browned.
