Easy Homemade Hero Rolls

Homemade Hero Rolls

Last Sunday we realized we were out of bread for sandwiches! I couldn’t
believe we forgot to buy bread on Saturday, so since Matt was doing homework
(as usual), I decided to try and make my own hero rolls.

I love Gandolfo’s rolls and sandwiches! What better than making our own bread and sandwiches, I won’t lie, I was pretty proud! They were delicious!

Homemade Hero Rolls

Ingredients

4 ¼ cups bread flour

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons softened butter

Homemade Hero Rolls

Instructions

1.Add the yeast, sugar, and 1/2 cup warm water in a bowl of a stand mixer.

2.Using a whisk, mix and set aside for 10 minutes or until the yeast has bubbled quite a bit.

3.In the stand mixer with the dough hook add in the flour and water. Start off on low.

4.Mix for 4 minutes.

5.Add in the salt and mix for 5-6 minutes until the dough is pulling away from the sides. At this point, your mixer should be at medium speed.

6.Add in the butter and mix for 1-3 minutes or until the dough comes back together.

7.Remove from bowl and transfer to a greased, covered bowl until doubled in size. About one hour.

8.Divide into 8 pieces and shape. I would advise using as little flour as possible when shaping these. The more flour you add, the tougher the hoagies will be.

9.Transfer to a sprayed, parchment-lined tray and cove

10. Allow rising again for about 45 minutes to an hour.

11. Preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden brown.
