For being a part of Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker program, we are excited to be able to sample Nature’s Pride’s latest freshly baked breads. We received two loaves, a 100% Whole Wheat and a 12 Grain. With Nature’s Pride Breads, I noticed how the sweet the slices of bread were. You’re getting a nutritious loaf of bread that contains no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. This bread is definitely an upgrade from the plain old Wonderbread that I grew up with.

With the First Annual Foodbuzz Blogger Festival approaching, an opportunity arose to become Nature’s Pride brand ambassadors. To become eligible, we had to come up with a recipe featuring slices of Nature’s Pride bread. Rose and I sat around thinking how we could best feature the bread by making it one of the major components in the recipe. Then, Rose suggested a recipe for a dish that she did years ago for Roll-Ups. Her description of Roll-Ups reminded me of Pigs in a Blanket, but instead of using regular hotdogs, it uses classic Filipino hotdogs. Filipino hotdogs have a distinct sweeter taste and just catch your eyes with their bright red color.

With this recipe, we ended up using the 100% Whole Wheat bread.

Ingredients
2-3 Slices of Nature’s Pride Bread for Breadcrumbs
3-5 Filipino Style Hotdogs
3-5 Slices used for the Wrap
2 Shallots
Mayonnaise
Your Choice of Cheese
1 Egg

Steps
Begin by first preparing the breadcrumbs. Take your slices of bread and cut it into smaller pieces. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the bread pieces for 10-15 minutes or until they’re toasted.

Grind the toasted bread pieces in a food processor until they become breadcrumbs. Spread out the breadcrumbs on a flat baking tray and set them aside for later.

Next, it’s time to prepare the wrap, which is made by using a flattened slice of bread. With a rolling pin, take a slice of bread and flatten it as much as possible. For every hotdog you have, make the same amount of wraps.

After you have the wraps done, in a pan, cook the hotdogs and shallots together over medium high heat. Once they are cooked, set those aside and prepare for the rolling.

It’s time to assemble the final Roll-Up. Take a wrap and spread it with a layer of mayonnaise. Then, take a slice of your choice of cheese and place that on the wrap. Place the hotdog and some shallots on the edge of the wrap and begin to roll it tightly together.

In a large bowl, beat one egg. Dip the Roll-Up into the beaten egg, coat it on all around, and roll it onto the breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs should begin to stick to the Roll-Up and will be ready to be fried.

In a pan, fry the Roll-Ups until they are a golden brown. Try to make sure it fries completely all around. You will notice that the cheese will begin to melt and the wrap begins to get toasty. When that happens, the Roll-Ups should be ready.
