Southeastern Texas, where this suburban Houston school district is located, has a strong Czech/German heritage, says Brent Trudeau, the district’s executive chef. “ It goes back about 150 years,” he says. “This hand held meat and bread combo was their gift to our culinary history. Our food obviously benefits from a rich Mexican history, but we pull from all directions.”
Ingredients
Dough
3 lb., 4 oz. instant dry yeast
22 lb. cold water, divided
1 lb. dry milk

Steps
For the dough
Mix yeast in part of water to thoroughly dissolve.
Place all dry ingredients into mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for two minutes.
Add yeast, eggs and water. Mix on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes, until dough leaves sides of bowl.
