A hoagie roll or hero roll is a type of long roll used to prepare hoagie sandwiches. Some hoagie roll dough is fermented prior to baking. Hoagie rolls are sometimes toasted before being used to prepare a sandwich.
Ingredients used in hoagie roll preparation may include flour, egg, milk, vegetable oil, salt, sugar and yeast. Some versions include sesame seeds atop the roll, which may add extra flavor and textural elements. Gluten-free and vegan hoagie roll recipes have been devised.
The hoagie roll is used to prepare the Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich and various other submarine sandwiches.
