The $2 Sub Sandwich | But Cheaper

Bread:

1. Pre-heat oven to 375℉.
2. Whisk sugar and yeast into your milk, and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. Add flour and sea salt to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a bread hook attachment and mix till combined. Next, add your milk mixture and eggs, mix for 2 -3 minutes or until you get a smooth dough; once the dough forms, add the butter 2 Tbsp at a time and mix for 3-5 minutes or until incorporated and you have a smooth extensible dough. (Note* If not using a stand mixer replace the butter measurement with vegetable oil)
3. Place your dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rise for one hour at room temperature or in the fridge overnight. Remove the plastic wrap, punch your dough down, and divide it into 6 even pieces (about 140g each). Roll each piece into balls, cover with a damp towel and let them rest for 5 minutes.
4. Roll your balls into footlong (12 inches) logs, taper the edges lightly and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, evenly spaced apart. Each tray will fit 3 logs, so you’ll need 2 trays. Cover with a damp towel and proof for 30 minutes. Brush with “egg wash,” which consists of one whole beaten egg mixed with water.
5. Optionally sprinkle sesame seeds and freshly grated Parmigiano on top of each log, score them down the middle around 1” deep, and bake for 17 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove and cool on a wire rack until room temperature.

Deli Meat:

1. Pre-heat oven to 425℉.
2. In a small bowl, add rosemary, garlic powder, brown sugar, and salt; mix until combined.
3. Season chicken with spice mix, place on a baking sheet lined with foil, optionally set a wire rack on top of the baking sheet, then place your chicken on. Pop that into the oven and roast for about 25 - 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉.
4. Cool down roasted chicken breast in the fridge, for about 4 hours or overnight. Once completely cold, slice as thinly as you can. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or use immediately.

Assembly:

1. Season your tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Place lettuce in a medium-size bowl, and add olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste; toss to combine.
2. Slice bread in half and spread mayonnaise on both inner sides; add 2 slices of provolone torn in half, and shingle across to cover the whole bottom half. Add a stack of your roasted chicken, red onion, dressed lettuce, and finally your seasoned tomatoes. Top your sandwich and enjoy.
