Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water with dried active yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add olive oil to the yeast mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
  3. Sift in plain flour and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix until the dough forms a ball and knead for about 5-10 minutes.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place it in a warm area for about 1 hour to rise.
  5. Once risen, turn the dough out and divide it into roughly 50g pieces. Roll each piece into snake shapes.
  6. Wrap each snake-shaped dough around kebab sticks and arrange on a lined baking tray.
  7. Preheat your oven to 200°C (425°F). Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. While baking, mix water and food coloring gel. After baking, brush this mixture over the breadsticks and return to the oven for 5 more minutes.
  9. Allow to cool slightly, then gently twist and remove kebab sticks.
  10. Poke holes for eyes and mouth, place olives for eyes and strips of orange pepper for tongues.
  11. Serve on a platter with your favorite dip.
