Parmesan Oregano Sub Rolls, (a La Subway)- And a Shitload More Mediocre Bacon....

Dammit, dammit, dammit. Another attempt at seitan bacon, another substandard effort. Meh. It's closer, but not there yet. I'm left with a shitload of so-so bacon which my daughter, bless her heart, will eat anyway. Maybe next time will be the charm.....

But my bread was a heck of a lot better! I set out to duplicate Subway's Parmesan-Oregano bread, and what can I say, I think I nailed it.

Parmesan-Oregano Sub Rolls

Get a large bowl.

Add:
2 ½ cups very warm water
1 tsp sugar
2 ½ tsp dry yeast
Allow to sit until foamy, at least five minutes.

Then mix in:
¼ cup Earth Balance shortening, melted
1 tsp powdered oregano
½ tsp powdered rosemary
1 ½ Tbsp Vegan Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 cup whole wheat flour
3-4 cups white flour, enough to make a smooth ball of dough.

Knead well, and let rise in an oiled bowl until double, about an hour. Form into six equal balls, then roll into rectangles and then into sub shapes. Allow to rise again on a cookie sheet or pizza stone. (I recommend the stone.) Allow to rise about another 30 minutes. Brush tops with non-dairy milk and dust with more vegan Parmesan and Italian Seasoning. Bake at 375 degrees for seventeen minutes.

When you remove from the oven, either rub lightly with oil or spray with PAM.
