Italian Sandwich Rolls and Mango Tarts!
Today I prepared Italian rolls. Tomorrow I will be making meatballs and Italian hot sausage and wanted a nice roll that would hold up to the fillings. I have recently stocked up on my favorite Duram flour and Organic White Wheat. I love Daniel DiMuzio's recipe for his Sicilian Semolina Bread useing the fine duram semolina flour. But I also wanted to use some of my organic white wheat. I used his formula and replaced one cup of the bread flour with one cup of the organic white wheat. The rolls have a nice chew and crunch just perfect crumb for the saucey sandwiches....the rolls are full of flavor and will make wonderful...hoagies, submarines, or grinders!
There is a fruit stand about 2 miles from here that is selling these fabulous organic mango's ... Oh and I mean they are wondeful tasting! I'm going back for more tomorrow...they were selling them by the box full very reasonable....maybe I could eat that many. This is mango time of year! I don't know the variety..all yellow in color...maybe someone on TFL does...but they are just delicious, perfect ripe and sweet! I have blueberries and cherries...but this is a favorite..Mango Tart with vanilla custard and a very simple very easy to make Cream Cheese Tart Crust from one of my favorite recipe sites! I will include the recipe here because this is such a great tasting tart shell and could not be easier to make. It is wonderful filled with crab salad or anything you can think of in a tart!
The Biga Smelled So Good!
Mixing the dough is easy following Dan's instructions in his new book 'bread baking An Artisan's Perspective'
These are apx. 7 1/2 inch large sandwich rolls! Minus one I ate!
Great flavor with a bit of chew and enough holes to hold the sauce!
