What it is
A sub roll is a type of long, crusty bread roll, often made with white flour, water, yeast, and salt. It is typically baked until golden brown and has a soft interior. Sub rolls are a staple in delis and sandwich shops.
Why it's used
Sub rolls are primarily used as the base for sandwiches, particularly "subs" or "grinders." Their shape and sturdy crust make them ideal for holding a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and sauces. They are a popular choice for both casual and gourmet sandwich creations.
Health notes
Sub rolls are a common food item and are generally considered safe for consumption. The FDA recognizes flour and yeast as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Whole wheat versions offer more fiber and nutrients than white flour versions. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated the ingredients commonly used in bread making. No significant health concerns are associated with the typical consumption of sub rolls.
Allergen info
Sub rolls made with wheat flour contain gluten, a major allergen. Wheat is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Check labels for other potential allergens like dairy or sesame seeds, which may be used in some recipes or as toppings.
