Italian Assorted Sub Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 550 degrees F.
• Split roll open.
• Toast in oven until golden brown with slightly burnt edges.
• Spread mayo on top and bottom of roll. Place cheese on roll bottom, then top with ham, dry salami, Genoa salami, capicola, lettuce, Sub Sauce, cherry peppers, if using, tomatoes and red onions. Close the sandwich with the top of the roll and cut on the bias. Place on a plate and garnish with pepperoncini.
• Put water, yeast, honey and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on lowest speed for 15 seconds to combine ingredients, then mix on medium-low speed for 3 minutes. Add flour and mix for 2 minutes. Add salt and mix for 2 minutes.
• Add shortening and mix for 8 minutes.
• After mixing, remove from mixer and place in a bowl greased with olive oil. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until it doubles in size, 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove from bowl and cut into 6 equal portions. Roll out each portion into the shape of a sub sandwich roll approximately 10 inches long.
• Place on a sheet tray at least 4 inches apart. Lightly spritz water on top of each roll. Sprinkle each roll with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
• Bake for 16 minutes, then rotate pan and continue to bake until evenly light brown, another 16 minutes.
• Combine vinegar, salt, pepper, red pepper, xanthan gum, shallot and garlic in a bowl. Blend with a hand blender until all ingredients are well incorporated, about 1 minute.
• Continue to blend, slowly adding the olive oil over 30 seconds.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to low broil.
• Halve the rolls lengthwise, then slice on the bias into triangular nacho chip shapes. Generously coat the pieces with olive oil and season with salt. Place on 2 rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and broil until just golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. They should still have give and a chew. Set aside.
• Set a medium skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. When the pancetta starts to sizzle, stir every minute or so, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool to room temperature.
• Cover the surface of a table or long wooden cutting board with parchment paper or butcher paper. First, spread a layer of the shaved iceberg on the paper. Next, layer on the golden-brown nacho chip-sized oily pieces of sub rolls. Then, add the mortadella, capicola (AKA gabagool) chiffonade and Genoa salami, ribboned around, making sure everything has some height. Next, add the pancetta followed by the Asiago cheese and mozzarella. Add the tomatoes followed by the giardiniera. Finally, using a squeeze bottle, douse it in the vinaigrette. Serve with chips on the side if you like.
• Ring the bell and beckon the kids. Don't forget your sub bib either.

Steps:

• Split the bread in half lengthwise. Top the bottom half with the mortadella, capicola, salami, prosciutto and provolone. Toss the giardiniera in a bowl with the olives, peppers and olive oil. Tear out the soft center of the top bread half to make a shell. Pack the lettuce into the center of the bread and top with the giardiniera mixture. Carefully put the two sandwich halves together, pressing to keep the filling inside. Secure with small skewers and cut into pieces.

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a large bowl of cold water, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, split the bread lengthwise, then pull out some of the bread from the inside. Drizzle 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil on the bottom half. Season with salt and pepper.
• Layer the cheese and meat on the bottom half of the bread. Drain the onion and pat dry. Top the meat with the onion, lettuce, pepperoncini (if using) and tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle with the oregano. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the cut side of the bread top with the remaining 1 tablespoon each vinegar and olive oil, then place on top of the sandwich. Cut into 4 pieces.

Steps:

• Slice sub rolls all the way through& sprinkle each inside half with oil& vinegar mixture (or bottled italian dressing).
• Spread a little mayo on top of that& add your lettuce, tomato& onion& roasted peppers on the bottom half.
• Layer your meats on top of each other (fold each slice to fit on the roll) and top with cheese.
• Eat cold or put in 450° oven on a cookie sheet until cheese melts& rolls are lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brush the cut sides of the rolls with Italian Dressing.
• Layer the bottom halves with Meats, Cheeses, Onion and Tomato.
• Replace Hoagie tops.
• Wrap each sandwich in foil, tightly.
• Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Remove foil and serve.
