Making Subway sandwiches and Subway-style bread at home can be a fun and delicious experience. Here’s a basic guide on how to make both:
Subway-Style Bread
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
– 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
– 2 tbsp granulated sugar
– 4 cups bread flour
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Make a hole in the centre and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Punch down the risen dough to remove excess air. Shape it into a loaf or multiple smaller sub-rolls.
7. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Optional: You can brush the top of the bread with water or olive oil and sprinkle some sesame seeds or oats for added texture.
9. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes (for sub rolls) or 30-35 minutes (for a loaf) until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
10. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and using it for your Subway-style sandwiches.
