Homemade Sub Rolls
Directions
- 1Add 1 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of warm milk to a large bowl.
- 2Add 1 tablespoon of fast-rise yeast to the bowl.
- 3Add 2 tablespoons of honey.
- 4Mix the ingredients and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture gets frothy.
- 5Add 3 tablespoons of warm, melted butter to the frothy yeast mixture.
- 6Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
- 7Start with 2 cups of bread flour and add it to the mixture.
- 8Add 1 tablespoon of non-fat dry milk powder (optional).
- 9Mix all the ingredients together to combine.
- 10Add half of a 1/3 cup of bread flour to the mixture.
- 11Once a shaggy dough is formed, sprinkle a silicone mat with the remaining flour.
- 12Place the dough onto the mat and sprinkle the top with flour.
- 13Knead the dough for 5 to 8 minutes, incorporating the rest of the 1/3 cup of flour while kneading.
- 14Clean the bowl with hot water to create a warm environment for the dough to rise.
- 15Spread some avocado oil into the clean bowl.
- 16Add the kneaded dough to the bowl.
- 17Cover the bowl with a lid and let it rest for about an hour to an hour and a half until it doubles in size.
- 18Flip the doubled dough out onto the mat.
- 19Divide the dough into four large sub rolls.
- 20Form each piece of dough into a rectangle, then roll it up, tuck in the sides, push the bottom down, and roll a couple of times to shape the sub roll.
- 21Place the formed sub rolls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- 22Cover the rolls with plastic wrap.
- 23Cover the plastic wrap with a clean towel and let the rolls rest for about 30-45 minutes until they puff up a little.
- 24Make an egg wash by mixing one egg with a splash of water.
- 25Brush the sub rolls with the egg wash.
- 26Take a razor blade or sharp knife and make a score right down the middle of each roll.
- 27Bake the sub rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 28Once baked, optionally top the rolls with a little butter.
- 29Let the sub rolls cool.
- 30Slice a cooled sub roll and make a sandwich.
- 31Wrap the sandwich in parchment paper.

Tips
- Use bread flour for a chewy exterior, although all-purpose flour will also work.
- Non-fat dry milk powder keeps the rolls soft and fresh longer.
- Ensure melted butter is warm to the touch, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
- For smaller sub rolls, baking time might be shorter.
