Baked Italian Sub Sandwiches Ingredients Sub Rolls: Choose fresh sub rolls or hoagie buns for the ultimate sandwich experience; they should be soft yet sturdy enough to hold all the fillings. Italian Deli Meats: A mix of salami, pepperoni, and ham adds rich flavors; feel free to customize based on your preferences. Provolone Cheese: This cheese melts beautifully; opt for either sliced or shredded for even distribution across the sandwich. Olive Oil: A drizzle of olive oil enhances flavor and helps crisp up the bread during baking; use high-quality extra virgin for best results. Dried Oregano: This herb brings an authentic Italian flair; sprinkle generously before baking for added aroma and taste. For the Toppings: Sliced Tomatoes: Fresh tomatoes add juiciness; go for ripe ones that are in season for maximum flavor. Shredded Lettuce: Crisp lettuce provides a nice crunch alongside other ingredients; it also adds freshness to each bite. The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below. How to Make Baked Italian Sub Sandwiches Start by Prepping Your Ingredients Begin by gathering all your ingredients on the counter so everything is within reach. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit while you assemble these mouthwatering sandwiches. Assemble Your Sandwiches Slice open each sub roll without cutting all the way through. Layer on slices of Italian deli meats first—this creates a flavorful base before adding cheese and toppings. Add Cheese and Toppings Generously place provolone cheese over the meats, ensuring every bite gets cheesy goodness. Follow with sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce for that fresh crunch that complements the rich flavors. Season with Olive Oil and Oregano Drizzle olive oil over each assembled sandwich. Don’t be shy! Sprinkle dried oregano generously over everything to infuse classic Italian flavors into each bite. Arrange your sandwiches on a baking sheet and pop them in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is gooey and bubbly, while the rolls turn golden brown.
