This is how I make my Italian subs, generally. After putting the meats, cheeses, and onions on the bread I toast the sub open-faced, in a convection oven at 325 for 6 minutes. Then take it out and keep building with the other fresh veg / dressing. I just prefer how the salami (and pepperoni as well sometimes) tastes with a little heat, and the cheese to be a little melty. Ups the flavor - for me. Great vid!
You are almost there for a Florentine Schiacciatta. Take your Italian sub and then crush it real flat in a Panino grill, toasting the bread crunchy. Schiacciata means 'squashed' 😊
@@EphemeralThought My teen-son made one these up yesterday. He layered the meats ( incl. thin Chorizo) on the first side of bread and lightely melted slices of Brie over them in an airfryer. Then topped with the salad stuff. It looked and tasted immoral when done. 👌
I know what you mean. First time I ever had a TOASTED ITALIAN sub at a shop I had to ask what is that. After they explained it to me, I said sounds good & had one. I was hooked from that day. I'll still eat a cold one but if I have a choice...TOASTED ITALIAN SUB all the way!
I grew up on Beaumont Ave and 187th street in little Italy the Bronx. The very same neighborhood Robert Deniro’s A Bronx tale is based on. Every Italian deli in my neighborhood served their Italian heroes with lettuce and tomato.
I'm glad finally someone called this sandwich A HERO WEATHER YOU ORDERED HAM AND CHEESE OR CHICKEN PARMESAN YOU WERE ALWAYS ASKED DO YOU WANT IT ON A HERO OR A ROLL THANK YOU FROM RED HOOK
Who says you shouldn't put lettuce on an Italian sub? I grew up in a VERY Italian neighborhood in the 1950's and every corner store had a good Italian sub whether the owners were Italian or not. They all served their subs with lettuce. Be that as it may that looks like a perfect Italian sub to me. Thanks.
Definitely with the lettuce! Also, I’d substitute the pickles with some sliced Italian Seasoned Pepperoncini peppers. Top of with Italian red wine vinegar. No disrespect to this man, he make a great sub!!!👍🏼
I’m a ginzo from east boston and make my subs like this but i add roasted red peppers .. i think u musta talked to the finochs in revere that dont like lettuce or pickles! Eastie paisans thats a must!! Great looking sub bro
I've been an Italian sub freak for most of my life - that looks amazing! Only things I would change (just my personal preference) is softer bread and cherry peppers instead of banana. I love how you didn't skimp on the vinaigrette and oil, unlike most places.
Everything BUT the pickles works for me. As a kid living in Dorchester MA. There was an Italian sub shop across the street from Dudley station. They had sawdust on the floor, and you could smell it a block away. You walked in and OMG!!!! The smells of meat, cheese, spices, sawdust. It was absolutely amazing. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 This was back in the late 60’s-mid 70’s. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm a Spaniard living in Denver and it's been along time since I've eaten a he-man sandwich like this...I better tell my wife to get on the ball!! Great video...I can taste the sandwich from here.
Great Looking Samich!!!! Shud have wrapped it before eating in my opinion,makes a world of difference. Allows all the ingredients to marry together!!! Keep up the Good work!!!
Love a good Italian sub and you certainly have the right meats, cheese, veggies (yes I love shredded lettuce), dressing and the right bread is a must. HOWEVER...one thing that I would never add is salt. Each one of those meats is cured with SALT, the cheese SALT, the pickles SALT, the peppers SALT, the dressing SALT. I can see black pepper and oregano, but adding extra sodium (I believe there were three additional sprinkles of SALT) make this like a week's load of sodium. I doubt anyone would miss the additional salt.
I can’t believe I just came across this video. I made Italian subs for dinner 2 days ago. I didn’t have gabagool so used pepperoni instead. I layered and seasoned the same way. My family loved them. With warmer weather on the way it will be part of the weekly menu for sure. BTW you can’t beat shredded iceberg lettuce on a sub. 😋
@@jeffadams4590 “Gabagool” (some sort of North Jersey bastardization of the word capicola) is like a fattier cut of ham. In my opinion the best of the best in terms of cold cuts. Usually come in spicy or sweet varieties, both are great. Harder to find if you’re just picking up cold cuts from a supermarket, but if you have an Italian deli near you, no doubt you could get some there. Definitely worth a try, ya won’t be disappointed.
You're missing the good tight deli wrap. Let them all speak to each other "whether they want to or not". But honestly, its a great sandwich that wrapped would probably pop a lot more. You're taking care for every bite that can fall away with every bite. It explains the lettuce complaints too, in a tight deli wrap lettuce (especially dressing it like that) it tends to go from crisp to wet
Now that I've watched this I mapped it down in my head and I'm going to make it. Thanks for teaching me something! I don't know how to cook but this looks like I can make it
Maybe im the only who does this but I love for a sandwich like this to sit and meld for a few hours before eating it. Really any cold sandwich I make or buy.
I once grew peperoncini peppers in my garden just to give them to my neighbor who owned a sandwich shop. Those home grown peppers were amazing on the subs.
Now, I simply click on the food vids when, at the beginning, someone's fingers are moist and covered with unknown substances and bits, while gripping a large chunk of primary food mass. It's Magic!
I would never get bored of this sandwich, I would eat it every day.
Yes😂😂😂😂
Italian subs are definitely the best subs.
Olives and mayonnaise
Great sub add moooz charge 25$
Yesssss... 😋👍🥖❤️
I'm 76 years old and tried your recipe. This was the BEST Italian sub I've ever eaten. My husband loved it too! Thanks!
You liked the pickles?!
@@rvroutdoors2131 LOL

@@yongyea4147 it’s cute how you’re telling people to “chill out” as you type in all caps and calling people names over over pickles. 😄

Only place I have never seen lettuce as part of a sub was in Italy.
Your kitchen, your way, my kitchen, my way.

Its easy to underestimate the impact of good lettuce. And a healthy amount. He nailed the amount. Adds fresh + crunch to the bite. Perfect.
Now that's an authentic Italian sub. Love it!!!❤❤
🐷 YOU GOTTA HAVE THE LETTUCE.
BUT DOES IT HAVE TO BE ICEBERG LETTUCE? IT'S LIKE WET TOILET PAPER. I WANT ARUGULA!!!

That looks do good, fresh ingredients are the key.
Mortadella with pistachios is delicious.
Yum! Someone who knows how to make a real Italian sub! I’m in love with this sandwich!
BEST sub recipe that I have ever seen. Thanks!
I like the shredded letter on the sub. For my taste, I think it makes the sub better! Thank you for the recipe!
Great Looking Samich!!!!
Shud have wrapped it before eating in my opinion,makes a world of difference. Allows all the ingredients to marry together!!!
Keep up the Good work!!!
This looks soooo good
I’ve never heard of an Italian sub WITHOUT lettuce. Of course it has to have shredded lettuce on it. That’s a no brainer.
With some chips!!!! In heaven
I grew up in South Philly its a Italian Hoagie a sub is a boat !
That sandwich 🥪 looks delicious 😋
This is the way. Beautiful sandwich. 👏🇮🇹
"Make it nice."
I couldn't agree more.
Grew up in CT with the Submarine sandwich... just as you laid it out! perfection
So did I..but pickles don't belong on an Italian sub..
That Sub is a work of art, looks delicious..
My mouth is watering.
Thanks for watching Bernadette!
Yea man wich olive oil do you use ? Wich vinegar ? I am over whelmed . I wish I was there . You are an artist .
Stay tuned and we’ll give away the secrets. Thanks for watching!
You like that sangwich?
Great looking hero! I wrap it up nice and tight with parchment paper it's gets all those flavors together and holds everything inside that bread.
Same here. It is easier to eat. Compacting it by wrapping it, keeps it together better.
This is absolutely my favorite Italian sub! Thank you for sharing! ❤
AWESOME!!! Bon Appetito!!!!!
In love withe sanwitch Construction
Best looking Italian on TH-cam. All the others are pretenders. Keep it going!

He didn't add much, but I see your point. Salt on the raw veg DOES make a difference.
@@alexnikolich2303 Especially for the tomato!
@@EphemeralThought You're right. Salt your tomato and that's it.
It looks more tantalizing delicious This is my favorite overloaded Italian Sub.
I love the shingle technique. I'm going to make myself the same way. Great video it made me hungry
Niiiice ...add some black olives too!
Awesome sanguich. This making me very hungry and I am full right now
Damn! I'm hungry now. Italian sub is always my go to.
Love you Brother thanks so much
This man knows how to properly season a sandwich.
I love mortadella and live a Philly and know a good Italian hoagie when I see one. I'm making your recipe soon. thanks!
I am hungry now, great job.
looks bomb. I like all the veg. balances all the layers of meat.

Is gabagool like a spiced bologna? Btw a nice cold cold sandwich is the best in the summer I totally agree.

Its almost perfect but I have to have mayo added.
I bet your sandwich was delicious ❤
Just need to wrap it it sounds silly but the wrap just brings it together in such a great way.
Looks delicious 😋👍🏾
Yummy that looks delicious
Beautiful!!!!. I get irate over Mayonnaise on an Italian Sub. Cheers!
Best sub in the world! My kind of sub! Instead of oil on the bottom bread I put mayo on bottom and rest of sub is same as yours! I give u a thumbs up!
Beautiful Italian sub!
Exactly the way I love them having grown up in Cranston RI which was very Italian.
This Italian sandwich is so delicious.

Too much criticism, stuff it
It isn't a hoagie without the lettuce.
Period.
This a sandwich not a science experiment.
The wrap does help squish the oil/vinegar into the bread which is nice. I love shredded iceberg on my subs... would miss the crispness without.
@@sahej6939 You just did the same thing...
Totally agree
I made this last night, seasoned the same way. It was a hit. Thanks man!!
Sandwich looks so good. I need to make my way there.
Very Very Good, this is the way they were Made when I was kid, only way I get it now is when I do them myself.......
Oh man, my .outh us watering looks so good.
Just made this, absolutely great sub. Thanks.
OMFG like when I was a kid!!!!! Outstanding!!!!
It's always the roll that makes it. The seasoning the layers is good too because not a lot of places do that and it shows
Gonna try this !
Righteous sangwich made with care
I would use prosciutto instead of ham. It looked amazing will make one.
Holy moly that looks good!
This looks excellent
This is art
Do you have a recipe for the vinegrette?
If not can you please post it!
Wow thats a sandwich to die for ..loaded....great video...
You would die for a sandwich ?
Great looking sandwich ❤
Love Italian subs and make them like a pro. Live in NY and this sub must be amazing! I can't wait for lunch. Great sub! Eat happy, live happy!
YUM! 😋

The tomato saw technique! Thanks for the laugh.
Looks perfect
YUMMY..
In NYC, you better place lettuces on our Italian subs
Looks delicious
That sandwich looks awesome
Beautiful! I would substitute Italian Cherry Peppers for those green peppers and eject the pickles, but it is a thing of beauty.
Definitely going to give that a try thanks for the advice
Excellent recipe.
This is a thing of beauty. Wow.
Maybe im the only who does this but I love for a sandwich like this to sit and meld for a few hours before eating it. Really any cold sandwich I make or buy.

Sir you are a artist
Great stuff, whats in the vingegarette?

Looks BANGING.
Beautiful!! Love the lettuce❤
Now that's a sub yummy 😋 yummy 😋
That’s a work of art!!
Looks good. Absolutely put on the shredded lettuce & pickles. That oregano is key too. Bonus points for +peperoncini.
Yes crunch on a cold sandwich is very nice
I once grew peperoncini peppers in my garden just to give them to my neighbor who owned a sandwich shop. Those home grown peppers were amazing on the subs.
