Instructions

Hoagies

  • Add both water and milk to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave 1 minute. Add warmed liquids to the bowl of a stand mixer. Cut butter into chunks and add it to liquids in bowl. Add honey. Add flour and gluten. Measure salt and add to the side of the bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and add yeast. Fit mixer with dough hook. Knead dough on speed 1 for 5 minutes or until a dough ball forms and cleans the sides of the bowl.
  • Remove dough hook from dough. Add 1 tsp olive oil to the bowl. Turn dough ball to coat all sides in oil. Cover bowl with a clean dish towel. Let stand in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour. Re-fit mixer with dough hook. Knead on speed 1 for 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide evenly into 12 portions. Shape into long ovals and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover again with a clean dish towel. Let stand in a warm, draft-free place for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350.
  • After the second rise, remove towel and bake, uncovered, at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Slice each roll in half lengthwise, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350.
