Kangaroo Pouches (Hot Sandwiches)
by LeAnn R. Ralph
Description: Recipe for making kangaroo pouches, a great hot sandwich idea!
Use your imagination to fill these hot sandwiches. The recipe makes 15
or 16 sandwiches. Leftovers can be used for snacks and to take to work
for lunch.
Sandwich Pouches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 package dry yeast (or 2 teaspoons bulk yeast)
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dry oatmeal
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients. Knead for
a couple of minutes. Dough will be a little soft and sticky.
Divide dough into balls the size of small eggs.
Filling:
Use what you like for the filling. I have used slices of summer
sausage, thin-sliced ham, cotto salami, smoked turkey breast, dried
beef. For the cheese, I have used cheddar, colby, and mozzarella.
Assembling the Kangaroo Pouches:
Roll dough to approximately 6 inches wide by 8 inches long. Place a
slice of meat and a slice of cheese slightly below the center of the
dough. Drizzle a few drops of Italian salad dressing or a scant
teaspoon of spaghetti sauce over the cheese. I have also used a scant
teaspoon of sour cream or blue cheese salad dressing.
Bring the top part of the dough over the filling and seal the edges by
rolling up the dough toward the filling.
Place sandwiches on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Some of the cheese may melt
out of the Kangaroo Pouches, but in that case, when you serve them,
scoop the melted cheese on top of the sanwiches.
Serve with a salad or other fresh vegetables.
Yield: 15 or 16 Kangaroo Pouches
Note: My husband loves to take to these to work and heats them up in
the microwave for lunch.
