Sourdough Sandwich Rolls (AKA Sourdough Hoagie Rolls)
Instead of buying rolls and buns at the grocery store, why not save some money and make a more wholesome option with this sourdough sandwich rolls recipe? They're also known as sourdough hoagie rolls or sourdough sub rolls. They're super soft and made with my sourdough bread secret, pure avocado oil, for the fluffiest texture!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fed sourdough starter (fed 4-12 hours before using)
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (or 4 Tbsp melted butter)
- 2 tsp raw honey
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the starter, water, honey, avocado oil, and salt until combined.
- Add in the flour and mix until combined. It will be shaggy, so use your hands to finish combining it into a dough ball until all the flour is incorporated. (If your dough isn't coming together, add in 1-3 tablespoons of water to help).
- Turn the dough out on the counter and knead for 5 minutes by hand or with a bread hook on an electric mixer. If you need, add a little flour if the dough is sticky. Place dough back in bowl and cover loosely with a towel or lid.
- Let the dough bulk ferment on the counter for 10–12 hours.
- Once bulk fermentation is completed, uncover the dough, punch it down to deflate gas bubbles, and turn it out on the counter (no flour is needed).
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape them by stretching each piece into a rectangle, folding it in half lengthwise to make a log. Then bring the ends together to make a smaller log, and pinch the seam. Finally, use the palms of your hands to flatten the log, and then gently stretch it into a 7" by 2.5" rectangle.

- Repeat until all four sandwich rolls are formed. Transfer each one onto a parchment-lined baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
- Cover the sheet pan with a tea towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 2 hours on the counter.
- Preheat oven to 375, uncover the sheet pan, and make 4 small cuts diagonally with a knife on each roll.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- When finished baking, immediately brush the tops with butter for a soft crust. Let cool and enjoy!
