Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning in the oven.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12 inches by 8 inches.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 8 long, thin strips.
Lightly brush each strip of dough with olive oil.
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, grated parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if using) evenly over the dough strips.
Carefully skewer each strip of dough onto a soaked skewer, twisting and curling the dough to create a 'snake-like' shape. Leave some space at the top and bottom of the skewer for easy handling.
Press two black sesame seeds near the top of each 'snake' to form eyes.
Place the skewered snakes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!
