Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Pizza dough
- 8 pieces Ham slices
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Bell peppers, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 2 pieces Black olives, sliced
- 1 piece Red pepper strip (tongue)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a long rectangle, about 16 inches by 8 inches.
Evenly layer the ham slices, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, and chopped spinach leaves over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Carefully roll the dough up lengthwise to create a long log, pinching the seam tightly to seal.
Shape the dough log into an 'S' or a coiled snake shape on the prepared baking sheet.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it evenly over the dough to give it a shiny finish.
Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the entire surface of the dough for texture and color.
Using the sliced black olives, create the snake's eyes by placing one slice on each side of the head. Cut a small slit near the tip of the snake's head and insert the red pepper strip for the tongue.
Bake the snakewich in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing into sections. Serve warm or at room temperature.
