Assembly
Directions:
Thaw bread dough. Pinch off pieces about 1/3 – 1/2 C.
Each loaf should yield about 7 sandwiches. On a
floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle. Don’t
roll it too thin or the filling will seep out. Put
filling ingredients in a line down the center. Fold
the long ends into the middle and pinch them together.
Fold the short ends up and pinch into the folded long
ends. Turn the sandwich seam side down and flatten it
with your fingers. This will cause the dough to
“stick” and keep the sandwich from coming “unraveled”.
Filling: You’ll have to “play with” your
ingredients a bit to figure out what is “just right”
for you. A little bit of hamburger, cheese and ham
goes a long way in these sandwiches. Use up your
cooking day leftovers!
The hardest ones to fill are the ones with sauce. It
wants to seep out but you’ll get the hang of it.
Non-pizza sandwiches taste good with a sauce in them –
I used either a mayo and mustard combo or some
Thousand Island dressing on the ham sandwiches. Yummy!
Cooking and Freezing Directions:
I only tried cooking the sandwiches and then freezing
them. The dough will rise in the oven so the
sandwiches will come out cooked much larger than when
they went in (a real revelation for someone who
doesn’t bake “from scratch” very often).
Lay the sandwiches seam side down on a sprayed, foil
lined cookie sheet. I also did an egg wash (one
whisked egg brushed on the top) on mine to give them
that great color. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly
browned about 15-20 minutes.
Cool completely. Wrap individually in foil. Label and
freeze.
To serve: Thaw. Reheat for 5-10 minutes at 350
degrees or in a toaster oven. Reheating in the
microwave will cause you to lose the “crispness” but
using a wrapper from the store purchased hot pockets
can help.
Comments:
Try this! They taste SO much better than the store
purchased ones and are only about .20 each when you
make your own instead of .75 to $1.00 each for the
store’s brand.
