Snakes On A Stick Recipes

GRILLED PIZZA ON A STICK

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a small saucepan with the oregano, garlic and a pinch of salt. Warm over medium heat just until the garlic turns golden, then turn off the heat and let steep while you prepare the dough.
• Preheat an outdoor grill over medium heat.
• Unroll the pizza dough and roll it out by about 1 inch in either direction. Slice into 6 equal pieces. Stretch and press each piece into an approximately 11-by-2-inch rectangle. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mozzarella down the center of each rectangle, then fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the seams to seal, making 6 cheese-filled dough "tubes."
• Thread each tube onto a skewer like a snake, alternating after every turn with a slice of pepper and a folded slice of pepperoni. Lay the pizza sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush all over with the garlic-oregano oil.
• Grill the pizza skewers uncovered, turning every couple of minutes so that all sides make contact with the grill, until the dough is fully cooked, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with the Parmesan and serve with warm marinara sauce on the side.

SNAKES ON A STICK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray each skewer with non-stick spray.
• Wrap each breadstick around the skewer and flatten out the end a bit.
• You will have to work with the dough a bit, but place 2 black olives on the top for eyes and a small piece of pimiento in the "mouth" for the tongue.
• Bake on a prepared baking sheet for approximately 20 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the herbs/spices of your choice. Let cool.
• If desired, slide the skewers off the bread or serve with the skewers in for easy handling.
• NOTE: If desired, make the dough from scratch and use food coloring to make them green or knead in paste food coloring, using gloves to shield your hands from getting stained.
