Hoagie roll

A hoagie roll or hero roll is a type of long flat roll used to prepare hoagie sandwiches.[1][2][3] Some hoagie roll dough is fermented prior to baking.[1] Hoagie rolls are sometimes toasted before being used to prepare a sandwich.[4][5]

In the U.K. a hoagie wrap (simply known as a hoagie) can consist of Doner meat, chicken tikka, chicken pakora or a mixture of the above meats - chips, cheese, salad and chilli or garlic sauce - all wrapped up in a warm tortilla. It’s the size of a small child and has the ability to fill a large adult in one sitting. The current hoagie eating champion of the world is Marco Conte of Glasgow, Scotland. He holds the world record of a staggering 8 hoagies in 3 hours, breaking Max Watt’s (of Scranton, Pennsylvania) previous record of 5 in October 2019. He was due to defend his title in the late summer of 2020 but the Championships were delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

Ingredients used in hoagie roll preparation may include flour, egg, milk, vegetable oil, salt, sugar and yeast.[1][3] Some versions include sesame seeds atop the roll, which may add extra flavor and textural elements.[6] Gluten-free[7] and vegan[8] hoagie roll recipes have been devised.

The hoagie roll is used to prepare the Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich[9][10][11] and various other submarine sandwiches.
