Start off with a sub roll or a roll of bread cut down the middle. White and wheat are common bread choices although others exist. You can either cut through the entire bread lengthwise or cut through and keep the back to better keep the insides in. [1] X Research source

Spread the bread with a condiment of your choice. Mayonnaise, miracle whip, mustard, bbq, and hot sauce are all popular choices. You can also save this for last or only spread on top/bottom half. [2] X Research sourceAdvertisement -
Add the meat of your choice. Ham, turkey, chicken, bacon, and egg/chicken/tuna salad are popular options for lunch. [3] X Research source You could try meatloaf or grilled chicken for dinner or steak and/or eggs for breakfast subs. [4] X Research source
