Italian Herb and Cheese Sub Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
• 2 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp honey (can substitute with sugar)
• 3 cup all purpose flour (up to 3 1/2 cups as needed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for greasing and brushing)
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp salt
• Italian seasoning (to taste)
• cheddar cheese (shredded, to taste)
• parmesan cheese (grated, to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (110°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon honey. Whisk together and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 egg, and 2 teaspoons salt.

3. 3

   Pour the yeast mixture into the mixing bowl with the flour and other ingredients.

4. 4

   Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add up to an additional 1/2 cup of flour.

5. 5

   Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

6. 6

   After 1 hour, punch the air out of the dough and transfer it to a work surface.

7. 7

   Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.

8. 8

   To shape the rolls, roll each piece into a rectangle, then roll it up tightly and tuck the ends in.

9. 9

   Place the shaped rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rest for another 30 minutes.

10. 10

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

11. 11

    Score the top of each roll with a sharp knife. Brush the tops with olive oil.

12. 12

    Sprinkle the rolls with Italian seasoning and a mixture of shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese to taste.

13. 13

    Bake at 375°F for 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes

To make a sandwich like the video: slice the baked roll, add turkey and provolone, and broil for about 1 minute. Top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, banana peppers, and spicy mayo.
