Steps:
- 1. The night before you make these, place all three loafs in bread pans that have been sprayed and place on counter over night covered with a towel. In the morning place in fridge until you are ready to assemble.
- 2. Mix all ingredients except bread dough, with your hands. When thuroughly mixed, place on a cookie sheet and cook it like a meat loaf, forming it in an oval shape. Bake it at 350 until cooked all the way through. Cooking time will depends how thick you make your loaf.
- 3. Allow meat to cool enough for you to handle and break into small pieces.
- 4. Roll out each loaf one at a time and cut into four squares. Fill the middle of the square with meat, I usually add about 4 tablespoons or so, depending how big my square is and top with mozzarella cheese. Fold the corners over the meat mixture. Pinch the top and sides closed, use water on your fingers to help keep it sealed together.
- 5. Bake at 350 until golden brown. I always server these with good spagetti sauce.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure the bread is crusty and sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings and toppings.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly and refrigerate for later.
