Description
Soft, sturdy Half Fresh Milled Flour Hoagie Rolls made with a 50/50 blend of fresh milled hard white wheat and all‑purpose flour. These rolls bake up fluffy, flavorful, and strong enough for French dips, subs, and all your favorite homestead sandwiches.
Ingredients
-
515 g fresh milled hard white wheat
-
515 g all‑purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
-
3 cups warm water, divided (110–115°F)
-
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
-
1/4 cup avocado oil
-
1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
-
Add the yeast, half of the warm water, half of the sugar, and the salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to proof.
-
While the yeast is proofing, weigh and mill 515 g hard white wheat.
-
Add the remaining warm water, remaining sugar, and the avocado oil to the proofed yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
-
Stir in the fresh milled flour until fully incorporated.
-
Slowly add the all‑purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10–15 minutes, or until it reaches windowpane.
-
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into 8–10 pieces for hoagie rolls.
-
Roll each piece into a long, tight log (about 6–8 inches). Place on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
-
Score the top of each roll with a sharp, non‑serrated knife. Let rise for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Bake for 16–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
I prefer to knead this dough by hand until it reaches windowpane — it gives the rolls the best texture. But you can absolutely use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Mix on medium‑low for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
