Tips on Making Domino’s Italian Sandwich
What’s on Domino’s Italian sandwich? It’s mainly salami, lyoner, pepperoni, peppers, and provolone layered up in a buttered toasted Italian bread. But of course, you can always customize this Italian sandwich recipe according to your preference and ingredient availability. Here are tips on making it:
- Use any soft and crusty bread roll that is sturdy enough to hold all the fillings in like hoagie rolls or baguette. You can scrape off some of the bread from the top layer to make more room for filling.
- Slice the bread neatly using a serrated bread knife. It’s also easier to slice if it’s chilled.
- For the meat, genoa salami and pepperoni give excellent flavor. But you can also use smoked ham, roast meat, or turkey pepperoni for something healthier. About 12 oz of meat for every bread roll makes a good meat to bread ratio. This makes the sandwich easy to handle and also gives you a good taste of everything. But you can fill it as much as you want.
- Provolone is the top choice for cheese, but you can use any melting cheese like American cheese, Swiss, or mozzarella cheese.
- Add other delicious sandwich toppings to your sub. You can smear pesto sauce on the bread and add banana peppers, sun dried tomatoes, and a dash of black pepper for more flavor. Piquillo peppers are red or green peppers that offer flavor without much heat, but if you want it spicy, you can add chili flakes. Lettuce and ripe tomato slices will add a fresher taste, but remember to add these fresh ingredients only after baking.
- Make your homemade Domino’s subs ahead. To store, cool them to room temperature then wrap them with plastic wrap. Reheat them in the microwave or on the stove top.
