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.
