Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Cut black olives into small pieces for eyes and slice the red bell pepper into forked tongues.
Unroll the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into 12 strips.
Roll each strip into a 12-inch rope; taper one end for the tail and flatten the other end for the head.
Wrap each rope around a greased chopstick or straw in a spiral.
Brush with olive oil and sprinkle poppy and sesame seeds on top.
Add olive pieces on each head for eyes.
