Combine salt and flours in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer, or by hand, add the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Beat until smooth on medium speed. If dough is too wet, add a little more flour to make the dough soft.

On a lightly floured surface (or in the mixer bowl with bread hook), knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes.

Punch down dough and, on a lightly floured surface, divide into 8 balls. Shape each ball into a long oval, roughly the size of the hoagie roll you wish to make. Arrange long ovals on parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Slice a 1/4-inch deep slit across the top of each piece. Cover again and let rise an additional 25 minutes.
