Which wiche is which?


What a great day today. We stayed at home all day and just chilled. I wanted to clear out my DVR so I watched episode after episode of Americas Test Kitchen and Everyday food finishing my day off with the Move The Taking of Pelham 123. Undoubtably I was a slug all day. Eventually hunger sets in and with notthing but left overs in the fridge I decided today's dinner was going to be a left over meal. I had the roast beef from the previous night which would make a great whiche but I have no bread. Thankfully the cable gods answered my calling and one of the episodes I watched of Americas Test kitchen had a bread recipe.

Looks like Beast Sandhiches are whats served up for tonight. Here goes:

Bread Recipe:
Bread Softare:
16 1/2 oz AP Flour
1 oz wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
2 Teaspoons Honey
12 1/2 oz Water
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt

Bread Hardware:
KitchenAid KSM150PSWH Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, White
Oxo Good Grips 5-Quart White Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
Saran Wrap
Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware 9-Inch Round Cake Pan
Old Stone Oven 14-Inch by 16-Inch Baking Stone
Amco Food Service Half Sheet Pan
OXO Good Grips Pastry Scraper


To make the bread mix the wet ingrediants first until every component is well homogenized then mix in the yeast. Next, mix in flour and place in your stand mixer with the dough hook attachement on low for 3 mins. Stop and mix in salt and mix for another 3 mins. Saran wrap the bowl and let the mixture rest for 30 minutes. Transfer to a greased bowl and pull one side of the dough over and onto itself. Do this for all sides. Rest another 30 minutes and do it again. After another 30 Minutes since the last pull over. The dough should have almost doubled in size in room temperature. Carefully transfer the dough onto a flat surface and seperate into two batches with a scraper. Shape as you need them I made one batch into rolls and one into heroes. The dough should be butt up against each other to support themselves and they rise. Preheat the oven for 500 Degrees with your baking stone if you have it and a sheet pan with water. After 30 minutes spray the dough with water and stick into the oven after 10 minutes drop the temperature down to 400 and seperate the rolls and put them back in to bake for another 20 nminutes until golden brown. They should cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Roast Beast Sandwiche Software:
Thinly sliced beef
Sauteed onions
Toasted Hoagie Bread
Beef Jus
SnP

Hardware:
Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler Stainless-Steel 4-in-1 Grill/Griddle and Panini Press
Victorinox 12-Inch Granton Edge Slicing Knife with Fibrox Handle
Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 10-Inch Serrated Bread/Slicing Knife
Victorinox 12-Inch Granton Edge Slicing Knife with Fibrox Handle

To assemble the sandwiche I sliced my hoagie roll in half lengwise with a serrated knife.
Spread a layer of Beef Jus, Beef, onions, and cheese. I then greased the top and botom side with melted butter and pressed until everything inside is nice and warm and comingled. Slice and serve! Its the perfect sandwiche and be sure to reserve some of the jus for dipping =).
