PHILLY CHEESESTEAK BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and peppers, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until onions are translucent and peppers are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add meat to the other side. Season with oregano, salt and pepper. Let them sit for a minute or so to get a nice sear, then sauté on the same side of pan until mostly cooked through, about another 5 minutes. Toss everything together in pan to evenly distribute meat and vegetables. Remove from heat and set aside. Scoop out the middles from both bread halves to create shallow boats. Place about half of the cheese on the bread then top with the steak and onion mixture. Add the rest of the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Garnish with parsley and cut into long slices. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients until smooth and well-blended. Scale the dough into 3.5 oz balls. I usually get about 7 balls from a batch this size. Allow them to rest for 20-30 minutes then roll them into a thin sheet about 1/4 inch thick. Roll each sheet (jelly roll fashion) to form long slender loaves. Place loaves onto an oiled baking sheet with the seam side down. Keep them 2 inches apart so they do not touch during the next rise.
• Place the tray of formed loaves in a warm oven (ideal is 100 degrees with 75% humidity). I usually place a bowl of water in the lower oven to keep things humid. Allow the loaves to rise for 45 to 60 minutes.
• Once risen, use a razor to make a 1/4 inch deep slit on the top of the loaves and mist them lightly with water. Bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees or until they turn brown.
• Remove them from the oven and cool them on wire screens or racks. The rolls last only a day or two before becoming stale. They are great for Italian hoagies or Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches.
