Roll Storage?

Hi all -- we're planning to make our own cheesesteaks, and
I have a question for the experts.

As with many cheesesteak fans, for us, it's all about the
bread; the other ingredients can be found at any decent
grocery store. This summer a family member is going to
bring us some pizza crust rolls from "The Original" (aka
"OIP"😉 when he visits Pennsylvania. I'm not sure how many
to get -- my question is how long can we expect to keep
these rolls in the freezer and still taste good? And what
is the best way to package bread for freezing? I do have a
deep freeze, so it's not like they'll be stuck in the top
of the fridge.

Any advice? Many thanks in advance... :-)

Wrap the rolls in plastic wrap or bag. Wrap carefully with
aluminum foil. Cover foil package with a plastic bag to
protect the foil from tears. This will protect the
rolls/bread from drying and freezer burn. I would think 6
weeks would be maximum storage for sandwich rolls. When you
defrost the rolls, leave all the wrapping on until
completely thawed. Janet

Anything over thirty days is a stretch no matter how well
you package them. Use Ziploc freezer bags.

I am a born and raised Philadelphia and I have no clue what
a "pizza crust roll is." For a traditional Philly cheese
steak, you need Amoroso rolls, which are easy to find in
Philly. Those would probably hold for up to a month if
individually wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen, but I have
never had sandwhich rolls that long to say for sure.

Thanks, Janet (and Mr. Wizard). Now I just have to figure
out how many cheesesteaks we can go through in 6 weeks.
Hmmmm, 40-50 should be about right... ;-)

OIP has several restaurants in Central PA; State College,
Lock Haven, and Mill Hall are three that I've been to. They
sell pizza as well as cheesesteaks, and use pizza dough for
their cheesesteak rolls. Mary ("MareCat"😉 would know what
I'm talking about; I recall drooling over OIP cheesesteaks
with her in RFC in the past. They're chewy and sooo good!

I've only been to Philly once, briefly, and I've never had
Amoroso's rolls, but they look yummy:

They sell them here in WA; next time I head up to the
Seattle area, I'll have to try some.
