Not sure what to use? Make a copycat version of your favorite sandwich from a deli.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Add vegetables:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add some nutrition to round out the meats and cheese! Grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, garlicky broccoli rabe or even just some shredded lettuce would all be delicious additions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Try a different cheese:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add some sliced fresh mozzarella for a juicy addition to an Italian sub or some aged provolone, which has a salty, complex flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Give it a kick:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add something spicy and briny like pepperoncini peppers, pickled pepper relish or banana peppers if you enjoy a little heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Italian Subs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to store an Italian sub is to wrap it tightly in parchment paper or wax paper. Delis use paper because it helps to prevent the bread from drying out, without completely trapping the moisture from the fillings, the way plastic wrap does, which will make the bread go soggy more quickly. You can use paper, plastic wrap or even aluminum foil.\u00a0 Whatever wrapper you choose, wrap Italian subs snugly and stash them in the refrigerator. Let the sandwich come to room temperature before digging in for the best flavor and texture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make an Italian sub ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Definitely, and they\u2019re a fantastic sandwich to bring on a picnic or to the beach. They can be made up to a day ahead of time. Longer than that and the bread will stale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be sure of the best structural integrity if you are making it for a picnic, make the sandwich and wrap it in a layer of paper before cutting it. Cut it into eight slices, then carefully wrap the whole thing in its original shape in a second layer of paper. Pack it in a cooler with some ice packs and take it to go. Wrapping it this way means that it holds together well and you don&#8217;t have to worry about cutting it once you arrive at your destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Italian Sub Tips<\/h2>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2043316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_23383_JonathanMelendez_11.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Taste Recipes's Italian Sub on a wooden board with a red gingham towel.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3>What is the best bread for an Italian sub?<\/h3>\n<p>The best bread for an Italian sub is a soft Italian roll or a sturdy baguette. A good sub roll should have a crisp crust and a soft, chewy interior that can hold up to all the delicious fillings. Look for a long, sesame studded Italian roll or make individual subs on hoagie rolls.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you toast this Italian sub?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! This Italian sub recipe is ideal for toasting because it doesn&#8217;t contain lettuce. Loosely wrap the sub in aluminum foil, brushed with olive oil, if you like. Place the wrapped sub on a baking sheet and bake at 350\u00b0F for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is warmed through.<\/p>\n<h3>What are some good sides to serve with Italian subs?<\/h3>\n<p>Classic sides that pair perfectly with Italian subs include crispy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-fries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/french-fries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">French fries<\/a>, a refreshing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/creamy-coleslaw\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/creamy-coleslaw\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">coleslaw<\/a>\u00a0or a creamy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/deviled-egg-potato-salad-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/deviled-egg-potato-salad-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">potato salad<\/a>.
