Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of water, 4 eggs, and 1 tsp of salt until well combined.
- Gradually add 1 cup of whole-grain wheat flour, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Set aside for a few minutes to let the batter rest.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin pancake.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the edges begin to dry and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat the process until all the batter is used up, making approximately 8-10 pancakes. Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Cut the Vienna sausage into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped Vienna sausage with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay one pancake flat on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture along the center of the pancake.
- Roll up the pancake to enclose the filling, forming a tube or manicotti shape. Place the rolled pancake seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling, arranging them side by side in the baking dish.
- Pour 2 cups of tomato sauce evenly over the rolled pancakes in the dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Allow the dish to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the Vienna sausage manicotti pancakes warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or parsley, if desired.
