How To Store Leftover Sub Rolls?
You can freeze (or refrigerate) these baked sub rolls and pull them out when you want a sub sandwich; it’s very handy. Also, if you put them into a good food storage bag, you can store them in the fridge or freezer. Also, you can actually freeze the sub rolls dough for later rolling out, rising, and baking.
How To Thaw Out Frozen Sub Rolls
If from the freezer, it may take about 2-3 hours after sitting out. However, ensure they’re still wrapped up. If from a fridge, it’s about 1 hour.
If you need them immediately, there is a way to use the microwave. After that, fully enclose each roll in a paper towel. Then, run it on a cycle of your choosing. For a gentle reheat cycle, it’s about 1-3 minutes usually.

Assuming they’re not molded, and still safe to consume, you can sprinkle some water droplets over it, wrap it in foil, and heat in a 350 F oven for about 15 minutes. Or, you can slice it up for making seasoned oven-toasted appetizers like crostinis. Another use for leftover or dried out sub rolls is homemade croutons.

Who Invented The Sub Roll?
There are tons of stories across every large American city and some are myths. Overall, the professional chefs tend to agree that the term “sub” merely came from its shape, as it looked like a submarine. However, there is one interesting story (or is it a myth?) about an Italian named “Benedetto Capaldo“.
He was a shop keeper in New London who made large sandwiches for workers at an actual submarine yard. Eventually, he sold over 500 a day. The workers nicknamed it as a “grinder”. Also, other nicknames across the country called this kind of sandwich: hoagie, po’ boy, spuckie, hero, and wedge. There are specific meanings, however, for each nickname. The homemade recipe for sub rolls on DarnGoodRecipes.com™ is today’s history.

Ingredients
- 1 cup milk 2%, warmed from microwave 45 secs
- ¾ cup water hot tap
- 2 tsp salt non-iodized; regular or coarse sea salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp active, dry yeast
- 2 Tbsp corn meal only for baking sheet
Instructions
- Place all main ingredients (no corn meal) in the bread machine in order. Start it using the "dough" setting (for Zojirushi brand, it's course # 11). It usually takes about 2 hrs.
- When done, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape about 24 inches long and about 8-12 inches wide.
- From the long side, roll it up to maintain the long length. Pinch the seam closed (using water as a sealant). Cut it into equal sections, 1 for each sub roll.
- Shape each section into a sub loaf. On the ends of each loaf, fold them towards the main seam and pinch closed.
- On a lightly greased baking sheet, sprinkle it with corn meal (maybe about 2 Tbsp).
- Lay the sub roll loaves onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Cut a very slight single slit down each center.
- Cover the baking sheet with a cloth for about 40-60 minutes to rise about double in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Position an oven shelf to the middle level.
- Remove the cloth. For regular results, don't brush the tops of dough with anything. For crusty results, lightly brush the tops with olive oil. For softer crust, brush the top(s) with water or else with egg white (whisked with 1 tsp water).
- Bake the dough at 375°F, middle shelf, for about 25 minutes. Optionally, put ½ cup water in a separate baking container (or pour at the oven bottom, if it's designed to handle that). The steaming effect will enhance the overall bread.
- Let the sub rolls cool for about 5-10 minutes before cutting or using.
I’m Italian and am in the fashion industry here. This is the closest true Italian subroll recipe I’ve had since arriving in the USA. I haven’t tasted anything like it in any Italian restaurants here yet but I understand the need to make things Americanized. But, I just made this recipe on own and it reminds me of home so, I’m profoundly grateful. I was so happy, I had a friend write this for me because my English is still improving. He showed me the translation so I approved. I do recommend to all who want the taste of a real Italian subroll. It was darn good Italian, if I can say that.
