Moisten the bread slices with water and let them soak for 10 minutes, then mash them with a fork. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the bread, along with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, the caraway seeds, the egg, and the meat. Mix well. Form this mixture into 18-20 sausages. Fry them in very hot olive oil until golden brown on both sides. Prepare a tomato sauce: combine the tomatoes, 1/4 cup of butter, the remaining salt and pepper, and the sugar. Simmer gently for 25 minutes, then add the minced meat sausages and simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes.
