Who doesn’t like a hoagie when you want a quick meal and you do not feel like cooking? These soft hoagie rolls are so delicious served with hot or cold meats.

Any kind of milk product will help to make soft rolls. I chose to use buttermilk as I have quite a bit on hand right now. This may add a trace amounts of fat to your rolls but it will be less than .5 grams per roll.

If you have been following my blog you will know that I love to bake with sourdough. Fermenting the dough makes it easier for your body to digest. Some people who are sensitive to gluten can eat sourdough bread since it has been fermented which breaks the phytic acids down. To me, there is something special about taking flour and water and turning it into a bubbling starter.

Sourdough bread is made by fermenting the dough naturally using occurring lactobacilli and wild yeast. This was the usual form of leavening bread down into the Middle Ages until it was replaced by other products. French Bakers brought sourdough techniques to California during the Gold Rush where it remains large part of the culture today.

My starter, pictured below, is over 8 years old. From this jar, I have sent our thousands of jars/packs of starter to help others begin their journey into this intriguing world of baking.

Amazon 

Vital Wheat Gluten is an important ingredient in whole grain breads. Gluten is the structure that traps the gases that in turn cause the bread to rise

Prairie Gold White Whole Wheat Flour is what I buy in 50 pound bags. This flour is very finely ground and makes wonderful bread. White whole wheat flour is ground from hard white spring wheat berries.

This yeast is a favorite product of mine. I will keep it in the freezer in a tight container and it lasts a long time.

I love my Danish Dough Whisk. You can easily mix any type of sourdough with them.

Parchment Paper is baker’s best friend!

These baking sheets are very durable and will last a lifetime.
