SOURDOUGH VERSION

Learn how to make authentic, 100% sourdough Philadelphia-style hoagie rolls that are soft and fluffy inside, sturdy enough to hold a loaded sandwich, and finished with a thin, pliable crust, toasted sesame seeds, and that signature cornmeal bottom.

This 29-page step-by-step PDF guide walks you through the entire process—from preparing a starter to mixing, fermentation, shaping, and baking.

Inside, you'll also learn about flour selection, hydration, dough temperature, baker’s percentages, ingredient functions, and feeding ratios, substitutions, troubleshooting, and the techniques I use to create a light, airy crumb with strong oven spring.

Whether you're making a classic Philly cheesesteak, hoagie, or your favorite sandwich, this guide gives you the formula and process to make the bread the star of the sandwich.
