- Make the Dowels: Create dowels using non-stick tin foil by rolling the foil into long cylinders, about 10-12 inches in length.
- Wrap the Dough: Sprinkle your counter top with some of the mix you set aside before making your dough. Take a small piece of dough (a little larger than the size of a golf ball), roll it into a long rope using the mix to prevent sticking, and wrap it around the foil dowel. Leave a bit more dough at one end to form the snake's head.
- Wrap it around the foil dowel. Leave a bit more dough at one end to form the snake's head.
- Add Details: Gently shape the head by pinching the dough slightly, creating a more prominent area at the tip.
Egg Wash and Season
- Brush the entire snake with the beaten egg to give it a shiny finish. Sprinkle coarse salt and colorful savory seasonings over the dough to add texture and flavor.
Bake the Snakes
- Place the foil-wrapped snakes on a parchment-lined or non-stick aluminum foil baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly puffed.
Add Creepy Halloween Baking Details
- After baking, carefully remove the bread snakes from the foil dowels.
- Use the end of a fork or skewer to poke small holes for the snake's eyes and mouth.
