Spooky Calzone Snake Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Halloween Recipes. (Spooky Calzone Snake Recipe). I came up with this idea for Halloween. I baked it in an S shape after combining an egg yolk with food coloring (I made several colors with several yolks) and painted to make a colorful striped snake. I used various food items to make a tongue, nostrils, and eyes (olives, peppercorns, fruit roll-up, etc). It was a hit with the kids! Serve with spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Directions

Step 1

Dissolve the sugar in the warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Stir in the oil salt and 2 cups of flour and mix on Low until the mixture forms a wet dough. With the machine running add 1 cup of flour 1/4 cup at a time and knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl into a ball. Knead for 3 to 5 more minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 2

Lightly oil a large bowl then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume about 1 hour.

Step 3

Combine the ricotta mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses pepperoni parsley Italian seasoning olives green pepper and mushrooms in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and roll it out into a long flat strip about 9 inches wide by 30 inches long. Spoon the filling mixture down the center of the dough strip leaving about 1 inch on all sides for sealing. Pull edges of the dough together; pinch to seal and form a long filled roll. Place the roll seam side down onto the parchment paper in a snakey \S\ shape and tuck the ends underneath to seal. Beat the egg in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over the calzone.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the calzone is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into individual slices.
