Rolls
- ½ recipe “King Arthur Flour Big Batch Rolls”
- 2 teaspoons King Arthur Flour Pizza Dough Flavoring
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ cup sourdough starter
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Slider Patty
- 1 to 1 ½ lb Italian sausage I used spicy
For the sauce
- 13.75 ounce box or can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon beef base
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper to taste
For assembling
- 10-12 slices provolone white American, or whatever sliced cheese you prefer
- Cento Hoagie Spread
- 4-9 tablespoons onions diced
- ½ cup lettuce chopped fine
For the rolls
Add all ingredients to stand mixer and mix until incorporated. Add to greased bowl and allow to rise overnight in refrigerator (optional step but it adds a lot of flavor. It can be left for several days also). Allow rolls to come to room temperature and weigh out into 12 buns. Add to 13X9 casserole or half pan, weighing out 12 balls of dough to make 12 sandwiches. Allow to rise until double in warm area, this could be an hour and a half to 2 hours. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes until internal temperature reads 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush tops with melted butter with garlic powder added.
To assemble
Slice slider buns in half horizontally and add sausage patty (save top for later). Add sauce to top, and cheese on top of sauce. Bake in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until bottom bun is warmed through, patty is warm and cheese is melted. This could be 30-50 minutes depending on starting temperature of the buns and meat. When the bottom is nearly heated through, add the top bun (I used a separate pan) and heat that through. Remove bottom from oven, add hoagie spread, lettuce and onions, then top bun. Cut sliders and serve.
