Flat Mexican Sandwich Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Place a slice of bread on top of a piece of plastic wrap on large cutting board. Brush the right edge of the bread with egg wash and place the left edge of another slice of bread over the brushed edge, pressing together firmly. Repeat with the rest of the bread so you have a rectangle of 4 slices across and 3 slices down.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the bread so all of the pieces of bread are sealed together.
• Spread mayonnaise over the bread, then arrange the sliced provolone across, starting about ¼ of the way up the bread. Layer on the mortadella, ham, capicola, pepperoni, salami, and peperoncini.
• Starting at the bottom, roll the sandwich tightly, then cover snugly with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring every 15 seconds, or until fully melted. Mix in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
• Transfer the sandwich roll to the baking sheet. Brush the outside with the garlic butter and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Let the roll sit for 5 minutes before cutting into thick slices.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place yeast and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer; whisk to mix. Add flour and salt.
• Knead with dough hook until mixture forms a soft, sticky dough ball and easily pulls away from the sides and the hook, about 5 minutes. (If still too sticky, add a bit more flour and knead a few more seconds.) Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dough and sides of bowl a few drops of vegetable oil. Spread a film of oil over the surface of the dough.
• Cover the bowl and transfer to a warm, draft-free place until dough is doubled in size, 60 to 90 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Form into a rectangle shape and cut into 6 equal pieces. Using your cupped hand and the work surface, roll each section of dough into a smooth round ball. Cover with a clean, dry cloth and let rest 15 minutes.
• Flatten dough balls into 6- or 7-inch long ovals. Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a cylinder, applying extra pressure to the ends to form pointy tips for a classic French roll shape. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets (do not crowd them) and cover with clean dry towels until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
• With a very sharp knife, score each roll about 1/4 inch deep along one side somewhere between the side and the top. Spritz loaves lightly with water from a spray bottle.
• Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes. Spritz loaves again and rotate pans for a more even bake. Bake until loaves are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, salt, whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. , Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 4 portions. Roll each into an 8-in. circle., Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add a portion of dough. Cook for 30-60 seconds or until bubbles form on top. Turn and cook until the second side is golden brown. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough, adding cooking spray as needed., Lightly oil the grill rack. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting steak thinly across the grain. Serve on warm flatbreads with lettuce, olives and cheese.

Steps:

• 1. Make the Quick Mexican-Style Rolls dough and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. 2. Cover and let the dough rest 10 minutes to relax the gluten. With hands, form each piece into a 3- × 4 1/2-inch rectangle. Arrange 2 inches apart on a large baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. 3. Preheat oven to 375°. Using the rounded handle of a long wooden spoon, firmly press 2 indentations lengthwise in each roll. (Finished rolls will have 3 rounded humps across the top.) Bake until pale brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before using. Best the day they are baked, or rolls may be frozen in a sealed plastic bag up to 3 months.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
