Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup (240g) active sourdough starter
- 3 ½ cups (440g) bread flour
- 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
For the Egg Wash (Optional):
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
How to make Sourdough Hoagie Roll?
Step 1: Activate the Starter
Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning. Feed it at least 4-6 hours before mixing the dough.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar (or honey). Stir to dissolve. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Step 4: First Rise (Bulk Fermentation)
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 8-12 hours (or overnight) until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Hoagie Rolls
Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a long hoagie roll, about 6-8 inches in length. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Second Rise
Cover the shaped rolls and let them rise for 1-2 hours until puffy.
Step 7: Preheat and Bake
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an egg wash, brush the tops of the rolls for a golden finish. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Let the rolls cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy them with your favorite sandwich fillings!
