–RECIPE–
PARTY SUB ROLL
▪240g or 1c warm water (86F/30C)
▪9g or 3tsp instant yeast
▪10g or 2 1/3tsp sugar
▪20g or 1 1/2Tbsp olive oil
▪360g or 2 7/8c bread flour
▪9g or 1.5tsp salt
Add ingredients to a mixer with dough hook and mix on low for about 3 minutes or until the dough is combined into a mass. Increase speed to high and mix for another 4-5 minutes. The dough is mixed when you tug it and it doesn’t shear or tear.
(If mixing by hand, add ingredients to a bowl and stir with a sturdy spoon for as long as the dough will allow you to mix it with a spoon. From there, switch to a soaking wet hand and squeeze and turn the dough with your hand then knead dough until it forms into a smooth ball.)
Transfer dough to a bowl and round into a taught ball (as shown in video @1:08). Cover and ferment at room temp for 2 hours.
Dough should have risen by about double. Transfer dough to well floured work surface then degas to remove large air pockets. Fold and preshape dough as shown @1:43. Cover dough with bowl or damp towel to rest for 25 minutes.
Shape dough into a party loaf as shown @2:12.
Transfer to a parchment lined sheet tray, seam side down. Cover with another sheet tray or damp towel to proof for 60-75mins. The loaf should have risen by about 2x. A properly proofed dough will slowly spring back when poked.
Score loaf longways down the center of the loaf. Spray loaf generously with water then transfer to a preheated 375F/190C oven Spray loaf once more then quickly close oven door and bake for 30-35 mins.
Brush the top of the baked loaf with melted butter.
Before building the sub, refresh bread in a 375F/190C oven for 5-8mins to crisp the crust. Slice sub horizontally, parallel to the cutting board then layer as follows:
▪5-6 spoonfuls of chopped giardiniera – press it lightly into the bread
▪Mortadella – ribboned onto the sandwich not tightly stacked
▪Salami – again, ribboned
▪Prosciutto – ribboned!
▪Shredded lettuce – about 3 large handfuls. Press down lightly
▪Shaved red onions
▪Vinaigrette, several spoonfuls drizzled all over the sandwich
▪A layer of thinly sliced provolone
▪On the top of the sub roll, spread a generous amount of calabrian mayo
Cut and serve. I like to use long picks to keep the masterpiece held together.
