Ingredients
- 2 tbsp yeast
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tbsp salt
- 5 tbsp canola oil
- 5 1/2- 6 cups bread flour
PIZZA FILLING
- 1 (5oz.) pkg. of pepperoni, cut into quarters
- 1 (6oz.) pkg. of Canadian bacon, cut into quarters
- 1 (6.5 oz.) can of sliced olives
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp basil
Instructions
- In a large bowl or mixer mix yeast, sugar, and 1/2 cup of warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the salt, oil and three cups of flour and mix. Continue to add one cup at a time until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILLING
- In a medium-sized bowl mix all the pizza ingredients together.
LET'S PUT IT TOGETHER
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Divide dough in half equally and roll one to 21 inches long and 5 inches wide with one end rounder than the other. The rounder end will be the head.
- Divide the pizza filling in half and place it down the middle of the dough.
- At the narrower end of the dough, fold both ends over tightly so that it forms a point for the tail.
- Continue folding the sides over and sealing the seam by pinching it together.
- Fold the tip of snake over so that it meets the rest of the body of the snake. Pinch the seams together to seal.
- Gently roll the snake over and place it on a greased baking sheet in an “S” shape.
- With a paring knife, cut two Xs where you want the eyes and place a sliced olive into each X. Cut an X where you want the tongue and place the red pepper strip into it.
- Place it in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. Serve the snake with the remaining marinara sauce for dipping.
