Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes or until it becomes soft, smooth, and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a hoagie roll by rolling it into an oval or cylindrical shape.

Step 6

Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover lightly with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let them rise again for 30-40 minutes until puffy.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Prepare an egg wash by whisking the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a golden, shiny crust.

Step 9

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
