For warming your Dutch Crunch Rol

Everyone’s oven is different, yours may take a little more or a little less. Remember, you can always toast it more, but there’s no un-toast setting on your oven!

Fried Chicken
  • I like to use tenders on Dutch Crunch instead of thigh or breast because it fits the shape of the roll.
  • NYT cooking has a great recipe to go off of here.
  • If you want to save yourself from the cleanup, there’s nothing wrong with airfrying some frozen tender ‘til nice and crispy
Coleslaw
  • When it comes to homemade coleslaw, I think Bon Appetit sets the gold standard. Like it creamier? Add some more mayo, less creamy? Use less!
  • If you’re on a store-bought schedule, you can’t go wrong with Whole Foods’ coleslaw from the deli.
Cutting carbs?
  • Scrape out some of the insides of the roll to make room for more fixin’s!

The Build

Put It All Together

  1. Slice your roll in half along the equator. You should see a little “lip” of topping on the side. Start your slice right above that.
  2. Spread your Calabrian chile aioli (or mayo!) on both sides of the roll.
  3. Fold your cold cuts onto the bottom of the roll, don’t just lay it in there flat. We’re going for VOLUME and an easier bite!
  4. Lay down your slices of provolone
  5. Toss on your tomato slices and SEASON THEM with salt and pepper. We want our tomatoes to taste like tomatoes.
  6. Add the slaw on top of the tomatoes. Tongs are fine, but it’s way easier to just get your hands dirty and use the tongs you were born with!
  7. Put your crispy-crunchy top on and voila! You’ve got a hoagie that will make everyone say “Mama Mia!”.
