    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2        tablespoons  active dry yeast
       1/2           cup  warm water
    2        tablespoons  sugar
    3               cups  flour
    2        tablespoons  Vital Wheat Gluten -- (see notes)
    1 1/4           cups  warm water
    3        tablespoons  butter -- (cold)
    1         tablespoon  salt

If you REALLY want to make it like Subway, you can use special "sub" 
bread mold pans. They will help the bread rise in the right direction 
and you will get that nice "Subway-ish" shape. If you don't have 
special pans, you can just shape them as best you can with your hands 
:) The more cylinder-shaped you can get them, the better (you want
them to rise upward, not outward). ENJOY! :

In a stand mixer mixing bowl, combine yeast, 1/2 c. warm water, and 
sugar. Stir until well combined and let stand for about 10 minutes 
until nice and foamy.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour and vital wheat gluten. Add 
1 c. warm water to the yeast mixture (in the stand mixer bowl) and 
add flour/wheat gluten mixture until combined.

Attach the bowl to the stand mixer and with the bread hook 
attachment, mix dough for about 3-4 minutes, adding a little flour if 
necessary-- keeping it a little sticky.

You want the dough to be sticky enough that it sticks to the bottom 
of the bowl a little bit, but not the sides.

After 3-4 minutes, cut up 3 Tbsp. of cold butter into little cubes 
and add to the mixing bowl and add 1 Tbsp. salt. Mix an additional 
5-6 minutes until butter is mixed in to the dough, pull the bread 
down off the hook if needed throughout the mixing process. Again, you 
want the dough to be slightly sticky and stretchy.

Place dough in a large greased bowl and roll around a little to get 
it greased all around. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 
about an hour.

Punch dough down and divide into 3 equal pieces (flour your hands if 
the dough is too sticky for easier handling). Roll out each piece 
into a 12" long loaf (like a fat snake). The dough should be the same 
thickness all the way across. Place on a non-stick baking sheet (I 
used a silicon baking mat) or a bread form pan. Cover and allow to 
rise 40-60 minutes, until dough doubles in size.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Bake in oven for 12-25 minutes (check at 12 minutes) until bread is 
golden brown.

Remove from oven and lightly run a little cold butter over the top 
(this will soften it up nicely).

Allow loaves to cool completely, then serve with all your favorite 
sub toppings!
