Snake Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

6 Tbsps of mustard (brown)
3 loaves of white bread dough (frozen, 16 oz); thawed
12 oz of salami; sliced thinly
16 oz of ham; sliced thinly
6 oz of shredded cheese (provolone)
6 oz of shredded cheese (mozzarella)
1 tbsp of water
3 types of food color (green, yellow, and red)
2 pcs of cloves (whole)
3 pcs of egg yolks
3 Tbsps of cheese (Parmesan); grated
2 pcs of olives (pimiento-stuffed, small)
Roasted sweet pepper (bottled, red); cut to strips, 6×1 inch

Instructions:

Prepare three baking sheets and line with aluminum foil; butter the aluminum foil.Roll out one dough onto a floured board and make a rectangle (26×6 inch). Gently brush (2 tablespoons) mustard within an inch on its sides.

Layer 1/3 of the salami and ham over the mustard. Sprinkle 1/3 of cheeses over the meat and brush the edges with clean water.

Tightly roll (spiral) beginning on its long side then pinch the edges. Shape the dough onto the sheets like a letter-S. Combine 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of water with the food color. Make one for each color.

Brush the colors on the dough, making stripes. Set it aside for twenty mins; let the dough rise. Sprinkle (one tablespoon) Parmesan on top.

Form the ends as the tail and the head; insert two cloves on the head. Do the same to the other two doughs. Bake in the oven at (375 degrees F) for 25-30 mins or till they turn golden.

To plate, insert the olives over cloves, pin using toothpicks. They serve as the eyes then place strip of pepper at the mouth, as the tongue.
