Italian Grinder, Hogie

[BigBill]

Deli and sandwich shops vary when it comes to grinders and taste. Here’s a simple way to make them.

Cold cuts to your liking.
Rolls, grinders, to your liking.

Example.

Take a loaf of italian bread cut it down the middle from the side. Let the top hinge open. Scoop out the bread inside the top and bottom. Just what you can pull out with your hand. Don’t need all that bread.

Then spread your favorite mayo top and bottom.

Next I cover top and bottom with provolone cheese. I over lap the cheese by 1/4 to 1/3 each slice till the bread is covered,

Next I take sliced pepperoni and layer it by over lapping each row by 1/2 a slice. You can put a little extra,
.
Then it’s sliced lettuce, sliced tomato, black pepper, oregano, black olives, onions(optional),
I use this combination for salads too.
I use Kraft zesty italian dressing. Then I use Regina red wine vinegar. Sprinkle to taste.

You can use any kind of cold cuts.

A little messy in your deer stand for that I like pocket roast beef sandwiches. One hand eats.

Cover the bread top to bottom with meat too.

A real Italian grinder/sub/hogie..whatever you call it goes like this..Italian sub roll..Sprinkle with light Olive oil.. Provolone cheese.. cover with sliced pepperoni salami a good italian ham lettuce tomato onion and a light sprinkle of oregano salt anp pepper to taste. If you don't like the olive oil you can use either mayo or Miracle whip. Your choice. I'd love to have one...but believe me...you can't find one around anywhere in Wyoming or Montana. Philadelphia??...oh yeah!!

 

[susieqz]

oh, bill! mayo?
it's olive oil or nothing!
it's supposed to be an antipasto sandwich.

The baked Italian grinder is my favorite platter at Gettysburg Eddie's in Gettysburg, PA.

Oh Suzieqz..who cares what it is supposed to be. LOL It is what I would have had for din-din tonight...if I could find one..or even the sub roll so I could make my own. Can you find a good one in your area??

I don't know how close you are but believe it or not Subway makes a very credible Italian grinder. I like a combination of olive oil and vinegar along with the fixings listed above and I also like sliced black olives on mine! I usually order mine with extra meat as well!
Phily? the best cheese steak sandwiches but that's another story!

Oh yeah..Cheese steaks...can't find a good one of them here either. Have a friend with a deli/restaurant back in Philly...Great cheese steaks...but he also makes a great Corned Beef on rye with onions and cole slaw with Russian dressing. When I go back east I make a point of going over to see him and get one of each CS for momma CB for me. Tried Subway and can tell you they don't come even close to a good sub...in my opinion. I was spoiled where I lived and worked back east! It is true..just ask my wife...that lyin hussy!...she'll tell ya

SUB ROLLS ARE PRETTY EASY TO MAKE.
water flour, salt, yeast.
i teach bread making online, if anyone's interested.

I like a Italian grinder heated.
Just last week I made a batch of shaved steak with onions, peppers, lettuce and tomatoes and lots of cheese for my wife and I.

susieqz I'd have to disagree with you . I like mayo with a dash oil and vinegar .

Make some dough and while its rising grill some Italian sausage on the barbie and beside them put some diced vidalia and peppers in a foil package with olive oil and let them sizzle away.Roll the dough out nice and thin,cut a piece and wrap it around a sausage, peppers,onion and provolone.Let the dough rise awhile and bake it for about 20 minutes.
Now I'm starving lol

On a Itallian it has to be oil vinegar, and go to a Itallian sub shop not Subway and get it toasted.

OH, YOURE WAY OFF.

Step 1: GO TO BROOKLYN.
Step 2: go to a highly regarded Italian deli, one shouldn't be too hard to find.
Step 3: let them make it. I won't attempt some of the spellings,& forgive the one's I do try, but more/assorted meats/cheeses & STUFF have been left out like cappi, ham, roasted red peppers, peppracini, a homemade dressing. STOREBOUGHT mayo & Italian dressing??? Don't be a stunad. Before going, you can brush up on on the local pronunciations by watching the Bensonhurst spelling bee on you tube.

Subways around here dont toast them, the oven they have just makes them warm and the bread soft.[emoji46]

After years of Italian bread (Italian wife) scooped and used for everything from meatballs, sausage 'n peppers, hot or cold, baked, broiled or plain we found Cuban bread. Dense enough to slow down the juices soaking thru yet soft enough to mold around anything I can stuff in the middle. My favorite part about the bread is whether toasted in the oven or on the grill the crust stays soft enough it wont explode into crumbs or gnash the gums like Italian.
May be the fact Cuban uses lard or shortening makes it work for us.
Still use Italian or sometimes French for garlic bread off the grill.

I had an Italian hero at Subway once...once.
I thought my Italian hero eating days were over when I moved to S.C. Then one day I stumbled into a Publix supermarket. They have boarshead meats! And the bakery had wonderful kaiser rolls and french loaves! I think I started to cry.
I had already found a pizzeria owned by a guy from Brooklyn using bari products and a real Jewish bagel bakery in town.
Life is good.

 

[soFlaNative]

Have you ever made a Cuban sandwich with the Cuban bread? They are really good, you smash them down with a frying pan or whatever you want to use to smash it down.

Oh heck yes. Roast pork, salt ham, sharp Swiss and sour dill with mustard?
What's not to love? Touch of oil and squished on a griddle.
Medianoche (midnight) is it's littler cousin made with egg bread almost like a hot dog roll.

A place I used to go to made a salami hoagie. Italian roll, sliced salami and pepperoni and provolone cheese. We don’t need no stinkin vegetables! I’d order it well done so he’d toast it till crispy on the edges of the roll and meat and the cheese was bubbly. While eating it there’d be hot grease running out, but man it was good!
