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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning in the oven.
Step 3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12 inches by 8 inches.
Step 4
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 8 long, thin strips.
Step 5
Lightly brush each strip of dough with olive oil.
Step 6
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, grated parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if using) evenly over the dough strips.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Press two black sesame seeds near the top of each 'snake' to form eyes.
Step 9
Place the skewered snakes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!
