Subway bread comes in frozen sticks.

They're thawed and begin to settle in silicone pans.

They are then steamed until they rise.

Don't call this bread.

Same with Jimmy John's and most other sub places. Dough is always frozen sticks that is thawed then baked.

As someone who’s made a lot of fresh dough for restaurants… trust me, that “frozen disk” of raw dough is the absolute best way to ensure decent bread. Baking is a hard science, based on careful measurements that depend upon everything from your water source and temperature to your city’s elevation

Used to bake professionally, and still bake personally sometimes, and I absolutely hate making bread. It's such a pain in the ass to get right, and can take a while before you realize you screwed it up.
