Hoagie Buns

Store in an airtight bag at room temperature for short-term use, or in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage. Freezing is best to maintain freshness.

Lightly toast the inside of the bun before adding fillings to prevent sogginess.

Slice the bun almost all the way through, leaving one side attached, to create a hinge that holds everything together.

Warm the bun slightly in the oven or on a griddle for an even more delicious sandwich experience.

Overstuffing the bun, which can lead to ingredients falling out.

Using a bun that is too small for the amount of filling, resulting in a messy sandwich.

Not toasting the bun at all, which can make it soggy, especially with wet ingredients.
