Meatball Bread Pudding Recipes

MEATBALL SUB BREAD BOWL

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Slice off the top 2 inches of the bread and reserve. Hollow out the inside, taking care to leave a 1/2-inch-thick shell on all sides. Tear enough of the bread scraps to make about 1/2 cup and put them into a large bowl along with the milk. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. (Save the remaining bread scraps for another use.) Add the parsley, egg, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper, half the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined. Add the beef and mix until just combined.
• Drop level tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the rack on the baking sheet. Use slightly damp hands to form the mounds into balls. Bake until slightly browned and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the bread bowl and pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of the sauce in a large bowl. Add the meatballs to the bowl and stir gently to combine.
• Wipe the rack clean, return it to the baking sheet and put the bread bowl on it. Fill the bread in this order: Sprinkle the inside with 1 cup of the mozzarella, then add half the sauce-covered meatballs and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan; repeat the layers of mozzarella, meatballs and Parmesan. Top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
• Whisk together the butter, remaining 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, remaining garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Generously brush the underside of the bread top with the butter mixture and put it on top of the bread bowl. Generously brush the outside of the bread bowl with the remaining butter mixture. Weigh down the bread bowl with a large cast-iron skillet. (Alternatively, you can use an aluminum skillet weighed down with a couple of large cans.) Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the bread bowl and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan on top. Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

MEATBALL TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit/240 degrees Celsius.
• Prepare the batter: Add the eggs, milk, beer and mustard to a large bowl, and whisk vigorously until foamy, about 1 minute. Add the flour and salt to a separate large bowl, making a well in the center, and pour the egg mixture into the well, in about four increments, whisking lightly each time until the flour is just incorporated. Whisk until there are no lumps and the ingredients are just combined, taking care not to overwork the batter. Set aside for at least 30 minutes, or while you continue with the next step.
• Prepare the gravy: Add the oil, butter, onions, rosemary and vinegar to a 9-by-13-inch (23-by-33-centimeter) baking dish (tin). Bake, stirring a couple of times during cooking, until the onions are thoroughly collapsed and browned, about 20 minutes. Whisk together the flour, stock and beer in a bowl until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper, then pour flour mixture into the baking dish. Return to the oven and bake, stirring twice throughout, until the gravy is thick and rich, 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprigs and keep warm.
• While the gravy is cooking, prepare the meatballs: Soak the bread in the milk in a small bowl and set aside until the liquid is absorbed, 10 minutes. Use your hands or a fork to break apart the bread into a lumpy mash. In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork (pork mince), pancetta, onion, parsley, garlic and lemon zest with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the bread and use your hands to knead the mixture until it is very well mixed. Shape into 12 large meatballs.
• Spread 2 tablespoons sunflower oil across the bottom of a large roasting pan (tin), about 9-by-13-inches (23-by-33-centimeters) in size. Add the meatballs and bake for 10 minutes, or until some of their liquid has been released. Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet (tray) lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture. Pour the liquid released from the meatballs in the roasting pan directly into the gravy, and then wipe the roasting pan dry.
• Add the remaining 4 tablespoons sunflower oil to the meatball roasting pan and return to the oven until very hot and beginning to smoke, about 10 minutes. Working as quickly as possible, pour the batter into the pan (it should bubble around the edges) and then add the meatballs and 2 rosemary sprigs. Return to the oven immediately and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/210 degrees Celsius (don't open the oven!) and bake for 30 minutes more, or until golden and well risen. (If you want, you can sneak the gravy into the oven to rewarm during the last 5 minutes of baking.) Serve immediately, with the gravy alongside.

MEATBALL-STUFFED FOOTBALL BREAD

Steps:

• Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
• Whisk together the garlic, milk, parsley, Parmesan, crushed red pepper, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Add the beef and use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the prepared baking sheets (you should have about 40 mounds). Use slightly damp hands to roll the mounds into balls. Bake until just browned and almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Bring the marinara to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, bring back to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Discard the parchment from the baking sheets and wipe one baking sheet clean. Coat the back of the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Using your hands, spread one package of dough into a 15-by-12-inch rectangle on the baking sheet (it should be about the size of the baking sheet). Draw the outline of a football shape in the dough, about 1- inches-wide and 15-inches-long. Spoon half of the meatballs, tapping off any excess sauce, inside of the football outline on top of the dough. Sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining meatballs and remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
• On a lightly greased surface, spread the remaining package of dough into a rectangle big enough to cover the meatballs. Place the dough on top of the meatballs and press the dough together around the meatballs. Cut out the football shape leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, reserve the scraps. Tuck and tightly secure the edges underneath the dough to prevent any cheese from leaking out.
• Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the top of the football with the egg wash. Pour the sesame seeds onto a plate.
• Using the scraps, roll out two 12-inch-long ropes to make the lines for the football. Gently roll the strips in the sesame seeds to coat. Press the ropes on the sides of the football, widthwise, so they are about 9-inches apart. Roll out one 9-inch-long rope and then roll in the sesame seeds. Place the rope lengthwise in between the two widthwise ropes. Roll out three 3-inch-long ropes then roll them in the sesame seeds. Place the ropes equidistance apart on top of the 9-inch rope.
• Mix the butter with the garlic salt and brush the entire football. Bake until the dough is a deep golden brown and completely cooked through, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and serve with the remaining marinara sauce.
