- 1 ½ cups warm water

- Place rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, brush with egg wash for a shiny finish.

Notes
Store leftover hoagie rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Use a kitchen scale for more precise measurements of flour. Let the dough rise in a warm place to help it double in size faster. Experiment with different flours for a unique flavor, such as whole wheat or bread flour.
