List of Ingredients
Kickoff Sandwich
3 Rhodes Texas-size frozen rolls, thawed but cold
Nonstick cooking spray
1 egg, beaten
Lettuce leaves
6 ounces turkey breast or favorite lunch meat
1 to 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce or favorite condiment
Recipe
Cut about 1/2-inch off one of the rolls; reserve the remainder.
Roll the piece into a thin rope about 1/4-inch wide.
Cut the rope into 4 segments for the football laces and set aside.
Meanwhile, press the remaining 2 rolls plus the reserved roll together and form into a football shape, leaving the top rounded.
Pull the ends to exaggerate the points, like the ends of a football.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the football-shaped dough on the sheet.
Using a knife, make a slight cut across the top of the dough, about 1/4-inch deep, not quite reaching the points.
Evenly spacing the laces apart, place each lace segment across the cut.
Using a toothpick or knife, push the ends of the laces down in the football, securing them tightly.
Brush football with egg.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 45-50 minutes in a warm area until puffy.
Just before baking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake the football about 20 minutes or until golden.
Remove from oven and cool.
Slice in half and stuff with lettuce, turkey and cranberry sauce or your favorite sandwich meats.
Makes 1 large football sandwich, serving 2.
