Italian Subs with Shortcut Hoagie Rolls

Semi-homemade Hoagie Rolls made from Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls perfect for making your favorite sub sandwiches.  

Hi everyone! Summer is quickly approaching which means my dinner menu will soon be rotating from all that winter comfort food we love to more fresh and easy meals that don't heat up the kitchen. When the mercy starts to rise here in Texas I seem to lose my motivation in the kitchen. 

Who wants to cook when it's 100 degrees outside? Not me, so I tend to rely on crock pot meals, cooking on the grill, taking advantage of summer produce with dinner salads, grilled veggies, grilled pizza, wraps and enjoying some of favorite sandwiches and hoagies. We actually eat sub sandwiches at least one a month throughout the year, so it's not just for summer in our house. 

For me part of what makes a good sub sandwich always starts with the bread. I like a soft, chewy roll with a bit of crispiness on the outside. Not too crisp that the hoagie rolls crumbles, but just enough that roll stays together. 

Decent Hoagie rolls are pretty pricey in the grocery store, so I don't buy them that often. Instead, I've started making my own hoagie rolls and I actually like them much better than store bought.  Since I don't have a lot of time to go full homemade, I rely on my favorite Rhodes Frozen Dough to make my hoagies. 

You can use frozen dinner rolls or Rhodes frozen bread loaves. My grocery store doesn't keep my favorite bread loaves in stock as often as I like, so I use the frozen dinner rolls and they turn out perfect. Most times I bake up a big batch and freeze them, so we always have sub rolls on hand, especially when it's hot outside.

A few of my favorite sandwiches to use these delicious hoagie rolls are, Italian Subs, brats and peppers, meatball subs, french dips and PO-boys. Speaking of Italian Subs today I'm Guest posting over on the Rhodes Out of The Oven Blog and sharing my recipe for my families favorite Italian Sub Sandwich.
