SPOOKY CALZONE SNAKE
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.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, pepperoni, parsley, Italian seasoning, olives, green pepper, and mushrooms in a large bowl, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right dough: A pizza dough that is easy to work with and doesn't tear easily is ideal. You can use store-bought or homemade dough.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! You can use anything from cheese and pepperoni to vegetables and meat. Just make sure the fillings are cooked before assembling the calzone.
- Don't overfill the calzone: Too much filling will make the calzone difficult to seal and could cause it to burst open during baking.
- Seal the calzone properly: Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges of the dough together to create a tight seal. This will prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Bake the calzone until golden brown: The calzone should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're sure to make a delicious and spooky calzone snake that will be the hit of your Halloween party! So get creative, have fun, and enjoy the process of making this unique and tasty treat.
