A Boardwalk Roll with a Waterborne Bite

The Atlantic City Sub Roll is a soft, golden, elongated sandwich roll baked in Atlantic City, New Jersey, distinguished by its thin, crisp, blistered crust and a light, pillowy interior. Unlike the typical American sub roll, the Atlantic City style develops a firmer exterior while retaining a tender, resilient crumb that resists sogginess under oil, vinegar and dressed fillings. Bakers attribute this signature texture to the region's water, drawn from the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer beneath the Pine Barrens. The aquifer's mineral composition and pH influence yeast activity and gluten development, producing the characteristic contrast of a crackling crust and a buoyant, airy interior. - AsNotedIn
