Baked Italian Sub Sandwiches are hot, cheesy, deli‑style hoagies you and I can build in minutes, then slide into the oven for a bubbly, melty, toasty finish. Soft sub rolls are layered with salami, pepperoni, and ham or capicola, topped with provolone and mozzarella, baked open‑faced, then finished with Italian dressing, shredded lettuce, and tomato for that classic Italian grinder vibe.
Why you’ll love these subs
These baked Italian subs deliver all the flavors of your favorite hoagie shop with almost no effort: buttery toasted bread, salty cured meats, stretchy melted cheese, and a cool, tangy salad layer on top. Everything bakes on one sheet pan in about 10–12 minutes, making this a perfect weeknight dinner, game‑day option, or quick “fake‑out takeout” meal.
The recipe is endlessly flexible—you can swap in your favorite deli meats, change the cheese blend, add onions or peppers, or brush the rolls with garlic butter for a garlic‑bread‑meets‑Italian‑sub moment. It scales easily, too, so you can make two sandwiches or a whole tray.
