What it is
An Italian sub roll is a type of bread roll commonly used for making sandwiches. It is typically made from refined wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes sugar or oil. The dough is shaped into a long, often somewhat flattened loaf and baked until golden brown.
Why it's used
Italian sub rolls are primarily used as a base for sandwiches, especially those with Italian-style cold cuts and cheeses. They provide a sturdy yet soft texture to hold various fillings. Manufacturers use them in prepared sandwiches and deli counters.
Health notes
Italian sub rolls are a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins if enriched. The FDA considers refined wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual ingredients used in bread making, such as yeast and salt, and have established safety assessments. At typical consumption levels, they are considered safe as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Italian sub rolls contain wheat, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. They may also contain sesame if seeds are added to the crust. Gluten is present due to the wheat content.
