Hoagie roll

Hoagie roll is a type of elongated and soft bread, ideal for preparing sandwiches or "hoagies," a popular style of stuffed sandwiches originating from the United States, particularly from Philadelphia. This bread is characterized by its spongy crumb and light crust, which allows it to absorb the juices and flavors of the ingredients well without falling apart.

The hoagie roll has its origins in the Italian-American community and is essential for making hoagies, subs, grinders, or Italians, which are sandwiches filled with cold cuts, cheeses, vegetables, and various dressings.

In terms of its properties, it is a white bread, low in fat, with a moderate supply of carbohydrates that provides quick energy. Being a soft and easy-to-handle bread, it is perfect for sandwiches that require a sturdy yet fluffy roll.

In different regions of Latin America, the hoagie roll may be known as pan baguette (although it is shorter and softer than a traditional baguette), pan para submarino, pan para sándwich largo, or simply pan para sánguche. In some countries, the term pan de viena alargado is used to refer to this type of bread.
