Fresh hoagie rollsA cheesesteak sandwich prepared with a hoagie roll
In American usage, a hoagie roll is a long, crusty-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside bread roll used to prepare hoagie sandwiches, particularly in the Philadelphia area.[1][2][3] Also known as a "sub" or "hero" roll. Key characteristics include a firm exterior that holds up to fillings and a tender interior. They are the foundation for classic sandwiches with cold cuts, cheese, and oil, vinegar, and oregano. Hoagie rolls are sometimes toasted before being used to prepare a sandwich.[4][5]
Ingredients used in hoagie roll preparation may include flour, egg, milk, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, and yeast.[1][3] Some versions include sesame seeds atop the roll, which may add extra flavor and textural elements.[6]Gluten-free[7] and vegan[8] hoagie roll recipes have been devised.
