So it is Japanese Milk Bread Rolls recipe being used to see if they will come close to an Amoroso Cheesesteak roll.  King Arthur recipe using the tangzhong method!  In the rising stage right now.

[BigDave83]

No idea what an amoroso roll is. Using the tangzhong method is to make a soft almost layered type of bread/roll. I made rolls with it a few times. They were not bad but still not what my mother made.

[Bentley]

I believe that the Amoroso Bakery is a commercial bakery in Philly, that provides many of the Cheesesteak shops with rolls!

Took almost 2 hours to proof!

[Bentley]

This is what happen when you treat baking like a science instead of an art.  Probably 3 minutes to long, but I am hoping they will still be a good sandwich roll!

[BigDave83]

They are looking good.

How long are they? I need to look for a pan like that.

Yes, Amoroso are eastern PA roll used by a lot of places for cheesesteaks.  We can buy them at the grocery stores around here.  They don't sell the 12" or 18" though.  I've had some others that are just as good if not better than Amoroso.

12 inch form.

Any that can be had down here?

The one's I think may be better are all local bakers.  I do buy Amoroso at Weis. Have you checked yours?

Lusitania is a good roll, but doesn't stay fresh long.  Its made in Bethlehem.

Morabito's is another one out of Norristown, PA down near Philly - http://www.morabitobaking.com/

Liscio's near Philly is really good too - https://lisciosbakery.com/

I guess I just never figured it was hard to find a good roll, every now and then I would have something on a roll and think the roll is what made that really good. But I can understand having this thought or idea of how something should be whether it is taste or texture and then disappointed when I make it and it doesn't meet my mental notes.

Hope the rolls are at least closer to what you are expecting them to be. Maybe it is something local, like they say why pizza is so good in new york is because of the water, maybe that is just a joke I don't know.

[Bentley]

Not the size I want, but all they had.  Cheesesteak for lunch!

[Bar-B-Lew]

Yes, those are the largest size I have seen in stores too.  Did you find them at Weis?

[Bentley]

Yes.

Did you find them at Weis?

[BigDave83]

How did your rolls turn out?

[Bentley]

They are edible, but they are over cooked and therefore not a great hoagie roll!

[BigDave83]

Do you temp them or just cook for a certain period of time? I usually will temp my breads and even cakes, and shoot for 195-200.
