Carefully push a meatball onto each finger of the bread hands. ⑲ Complete the eyeball hand: Gently make one slit into 10 meatballs with a small knife, and then cover the meatballs with the white sauce. Taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary ⑱ Remove from heat, and whisk in white pepper and salt. ⑰ Set saucepan over moderate-high heat, and whisk continuously until boiling. Continue beating vigorously with a whisk until well blended. ⑯ Remove flour mixture from heat, and slowly pour in the boiling milk, whisking the entire time. Once melted, whisk in the flour, and cook for a couple minutes, whisking constantly. ⑮ Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Keep a close eye on it so it does not scorch or boil over. ⑭ Make the white sauce: In a small saucepan, heat the milk to a boil. Continue until all meatballs have been cooked. Once done cooking, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cook about 10-15 minutes, flipping once or twice until the meatballs are cooked through (165☏). Cook the meatballs in batches so the pan is not crowded. ⑬ Heat a small layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You will have more meatballs than fingers*. ⑫ Form the meatball mixture into about 1 1/2 inch balls. Add in the prepared breadcrumb/milk mixture and stir to combine. ⑪ In a separate large bowl, mix together the pork, beef, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper with your hands or wooden spoon. ⑩ Make the meatballs: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk in a bowl and set aside. Continue baking for an additional 12-14 minutes until the hand is lightly browned and cooked through. This step is important as it allows the meatballs to slide onto the fingers. After the bread has been in the oven for 6 minutes, take out and pinch the ends of all the fingers. Put the foil stands underneath the fingers so the fingers drape over the foil. ⑨ Bake the hand: Place the dough hand on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat the hand-making process with the other part of the dough. Using foil, make stands to rest the dough fingers on while they bake so you get a grip-like look (pictures above). Shape out the dough to a palm-like shape, and, by rolling the dough between your two hands, slowly work it out to make 5 fingers. ⑧ Form the hand: Punch down the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. ⑥ Rise the dough: Place the dough in a large lightly oiled bowl, roll dough around in bowl to coat all over with oil, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot for 45 minutes to an hour or until the dough has doubled in size. You still want the dough to be slightly sticky! During the kneading process, you may need to add more flour by the tablespoon, but be careful not too add too much flour. ⑤ Knead the dough: Place the dough on a well floured surface, and knead with floured hands for about 4-6 minutes or until the dough is a smooth and elastic ball. Keep stirring until ingredients are well combined. ④ Slowly stir dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon. ③ In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. ② Stir olive oil into the bowl of water/yeast.
If your yeast does not get frothy, start over with new yeast. ① Make the dough: In a large bowl, add in warm water and sprinkle yeast over the water. *See Notes below for electric mixer instructions.
