sub roll

Long sandwich loaf

A sub roll is a long, narrow bread roll used primarily for submarine sandwiches.

The shape—typically six to twelve inches long with a soft interior and slightly crusty exterior—accommodates layered meats, cheeses, and toppings.

Regional names vary: hoagie roll in Philadelphia, hero roll in New York, grinder roll in New England.

Pick up some sub rolls for the party.
