philly cheesesteak bread

Local Variations – In Philadelphia, Amoroso's rolls are the most iconic choice for a cheesesteak, known for their perfect combination of softness and durabilitY

Neutral Flavor – The bread's flavor should be neutral so it doesn't overpower the star ingredients—beef, cheese, and toppings.

Absorbency – The bread should be able to soak up some of the steak juices without becoming overly soft or disintegrating.

Freshness – The bread should be fresh, as a stale roll can detract from the sandwich’s overall texture and flavor.

Butter-Toasted Option – For an extra layer of flavor, the inside of the roll can be lightly buttered and toasted, which adds richness and a satisfying crunch.
