What is an Italian Sub Sandwich?
An Italian sub sandwich is loaded with all of your favorite sandwich fixings. Freshly baked hoagie roll with deli meats, fresh vegetables, cheese and the homemade Italian dressing.
The “secret” to the BEST Italian sub sandwich is toasting your roll. It gives the sandwich restaurant quality.
| If you enjoy serving food charcuterie style, you can serve the Italian Sub that way for parties! Slice and prep all the ingredients. Arrange on a large board allowing guests to make their own sandwich. |
SUB SANDWICH INGREDIENTS-
I love that the sub sandwich uses staple kitchen ingredients but you can add or substitute to your personal tastes with the same results.
- BREAD– You can use hoagie rolls or sub rolls from your local bakery or your favorite grocery store. You don’t want to go with something really soft, use bread that is a little more sturdy.
- MEATS– The meats are the most important part of this Italian sub, so stack up on the meats. Here are the meats you will need for this sub:
- Ham
- Genoa salami
- Capocollo
- Turkey, optional
- Pastrami, optional
- CHEESE– Provolone cheese is what this sub calls for but you can use your favorite sliced cheese. If you like a kick to your subs we love using pepper jack cheese!
