Ingredients

1 (13.8-oz.) tube refrigerated pizza dough
1/4 cup olive oil, for brushing
1/2 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
3 black olives
12 dried chiles
store-bought tomato soup for 12

Directions

1. Step 1Unroll tube refrigerated pizza dough. Cut into 12 strips on the long side and roll each into 12-inch ropes, tapering one end (to create the tail) and flattening the other end (to create the head).
2. Step 2Wrap each rope in a spiral around a greased 10 ½-inch chopstick. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle body with poppy seeds and tails with sesame seeds. Cut black olives into small triangles and place on the head of each snake to make the eyes.
3. Step 3 Bake on two parchment paper-lined baking sheets at 350°F until golden brown, 15 to 18 mins. Cool 3 mins. before carefully removing chopsticks.
4. Step 4While still warm, use a toothpick to carefully thread dried chiles (cut into tongues) into the tip of the flat end of each snake to make the tongue. Serve with store-bought tomato soup. For added flair, put the soup in a cauldron-like cast iron pot.
