Ingredients

Scale

13.8 ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
3 black olives (for eyes)
Piece of red bell pepper (for tongues)
2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cut black olives into small pieces for the eyes and slice the red bell pepper into forked tongues.
Unroll the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into 12 strips.
Roll each strip into 12-inch ropes, tapering one end for the tail and flattening the other end for the head.
Wrap each rope around a greased wooden chopstick or metal straw in a spiral shape.
Brush each snake with olive oil and sprinkle with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
Place black olive pieces on each snake's head as eyes.
Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets for about 11-15 minutes until golden brown.
Once warm, thread red pepper pieces into the flat end of each snake for tongues.
