Hopefully it is good, but I thought I would blog it while the kids are sleeping!
Hot Meatball Subs
1 package (18 oz) frozen cooked meatballs - I used my homemade that I cook fully and then freeze-about 30
1 jar (26 oz) chunky garden style spaghetti sauce
1/2 t minced garlic - optional
Mozzarella cheese
Buns
Combine meatballs, sauce and garlic in a sprayed slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Place meatballs and sauce on bun. Sprinkle with cheese.
Sesame Wheat Braids
2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
2 1/4 C warm water
1/3 C sugar
1 T oil
1 C whole wheat flour
2 eggs
1 T water
1 T salt
5-6 C all-purpose flour
2 t sesame seeds
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and oil, mix well. Stir in whole wheat flour, let stand until the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, beat eggs and water. Remove 2 T to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Add remaining egg mixture and salt to batter, mix until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and divide in half. Divide each half into thirds. Shape each into a rope about 15 inches long. Place three ropes on a greased baking sheet, braid. Pinch each end frimly and tuck under. Repeat, placing second braid on another sheet. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush braids with the reserved egg mixture, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
I've never made a braided bread. I also don't have any regular flour in the house so it is 100% whole wheat. Hopefully it turns out edible!
