A hoagie roll or hero roll is a type of long roll used to prepare hoagie sandwiches. [1] [2] [3] Hoagie rolls are sometimes toasted before being used to prepare a sandwich. [4] [5]
Ingredients used in hoagie roll preparation may include flour, egg, milk, vegetable oil, salt, sugar and yeast. [1] [3] Some versions include sesame seeds atop the roll, which may add extra flavor and textural elements. [6] Gluten-free [7] and vegan [8] hoagie roll recipes have been devised.
The hoagie roll is used to prepare the Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich [9] [10] [11] and various other submarine sandwiches.
