Add warm water in splashes to loosen the dough as needed.

Incorporate half of the softened butter into the dough using the whisk attachment.

Add the remaining butter and mix until smooth again.

Cover the dough with cling film and let it prove for about an hour until doubled in size.

Knock the air out of the dough and flour a work surface lightly.

Divide the dough into four even pieces; shape two into hoagies and the rest into small rolls.

Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined tray and cover with a tea towel; let rise for 45 minutes.
