Pizza Snake
My friend Alyssa tried this recipe and loved it. She has a few recommendations at the bottom.
1 tube (11 oz) refrigerated crusty french Loaf
1 jar (14 oz) Pizza Sauce
1 c. shredded Mozarella cheese
1 c. fresh mushrooms sliced
Thinly sliced peperoni
1 egg, lightly beaten
Assorted Food Coloring
New Paintbrushes
1. Unroll French bread loaf dough into a large rectangle; Spread 1 c. pizza sauce to within 1 " of the edges. Sprinkle with cheese and mushrooms. Cut a forked tongue from a piece of pepperoni; set aside.Layer remaining pepperoni over cheese & mushrooms.
2. Roll-up jelly roll style, starting with long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. Place seam side down on a greased cookie sheet, making S shape. Divide egg in several small bowls; tint with food coloring as desired. Paint snake as desired with the egg.
3. Bake @ 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cut a small hole for the mouth; insert pepperoni tongue. Warm remaining pizza sauce and serve on the side.
Tips from Alyssa:
What I'd try different:
1. The pizza sauce made the dough soggy, so it kept on tearing as I rolled it. Next time, I''ll try some garlic butter instead, and serve the sauce on the side.
2. The pepperoni made the dough hard to roll because it slid instead of bent. Not using the pizza sauce probably would help, but time I would use diced pepperoni instead.
