Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Knead Elastic Dough & Rise (1.5 Hr)
Knead bread flour, yeast, warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt for 8 to 10 minutes into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let rise 1.5 hours until doubled.
2
Shape 6 Torpedo Sub Rolls (15 Min)
Divide dough into 6 equal portions (about 140g each). Flatten into rectangles and roll tightly into 8-inch torpedo cylinders, pinching seams. Place on parchment baking sheets; let rise 45 minutes until puffy.
3
Slash & Bake with Steam (20 Min)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) with a pan of hot water on bottom rack. Cut a shallow lengthwise slash down each roll; brush with egg white wash. **Bake at 400°F for 18 to 20 minutes** until golden brown and crackly. Cool completely!
Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Steam Pan for Thin Crust: Placing a pan of boiling water on the oven floor creates steam that gives sub rolls their signature paper-thin, crackling crust.
- Roll Tightly into Torpedoes: Rolling dough tightly builds surface tension so rolls puff upward rather than spreading flat.
1. Spoon and Level Your Flour: Never scoop flour directly from the canister with your measuring cup, which packs excess volume by up to 25%. Fluff the flour with a fork, spoon it into the cup, and level the top with a knife. 2. Season in Measured Layers: Introduce small pinches of salt at different cooking stages rather than dumping seasoning on at the end. This draws out moisture and seasons every ingredient to its core. 3.
