Editing Cheesesteak (section)

== The Bread ==

The traditional cheesesteak roll is a '''long Italian roll''' with a crispy crust and soft interior. The bread must be sturdy enough to hold the meat and melted cheese without falling apart, but soft enough to bite through easily.

'''Amoroso's Baking Company''', founded in Philadelphia in 1904, is the most famous supplier of cheesesteak rolls. The Amoroso roll has become synonymous with the authentic cheesesteak experience, and many shops advertise their use of Amoroso bread.

Other Philadelphia-area bakeries, including Liscio's and Sarcone's, also supply rolls to local cheesesteak shops. The common thread is a crusty exterior, pillowy interior, and the right length (typically 10-12 inches) to hold a full cheesesteak.
