Ingredients:

Serving

2 loaves (1 lb each) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 lb johnsonville mild ground italian sausage
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
4 cups (1 lb) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp butter
2 egg yolks
4 drops each red, yellow and green food coloring, optional
4 pitted ripe olives
2 roasted sweet red pepper strips

Directions:

Thaw bread dough according to package directions; let rise until doubled.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until no longer pink; drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the spinach, cheeses, oregano and garlic powder; set side. Roll each portion of dough into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread sausage mixture lengthwise down the center of each rectangle. Gently press the filling down; dot with butter.
Bring edges of dough to the center over filling; pinch to seal. Place each loaf seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Tuck ends under and form into a snake shape.
Place an egg yolk in each of two small bowls; tint one orange with red and yellow food coloring and the other with green coloring if desired. Brush stripes and diamond designs on snakes to decorate.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut out small holes in bread; gently press olives into bread for eyes. Cut a slit in each loaf; insert red pepper strips for tongues. Yield: 2 loaves.
