Description
Bake the ultimate sub bread at home with this easy recipe! Perfect for hoagies, Italian subs, and more, this homemade bread is crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/2 cups (420g) bread flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Make the Dough: Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add bread flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 6-8 minutes with a mixer or 10-12 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape into long loaves. Let rest for 20 minutes. Slash the tops diagonally. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- Ensure water temperature is between 105-115°F for yeast activation.
- Kneading properly develops gluten for bread structure.
- Proof dough in a warm place for proper rise.
- Score loaves before baking to prevent bursting.
