A spooky and savory Halloween sandwich shaped like a snake, filled with layers of deli meats, cheese, veggies, and a zesty homemade venom sauce. Perfect for parties or festive lunches with creepy, fun decorations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf frozen bread dough (thawed per package instructions)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted (or olive oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp sesame or poppy seeds (optional)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup finely chopped pepperoncini (or diced jalapeños)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • ¾ cup roasted sweet red peppers (or roasted bell peppers)
  • 1 lb deli smoked turkey, sliced
  • 1 lb deli ham, sliced
  • ¾ lb provolone cheese, sliced (or mozzarella)
  • 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced (or cucumbers)
  • 1 medium head iceberg lettuce, shredded (or spinach)
  • 2 pretzel sticks or toothpicks
  • 2 pickle slices (or olives)
  • 2 ripe olive slices (or capers)
  • Extra roasted red pepper (for snake tongue)

Instructions

  1. Thaw frozen dough and roll into a 2-inch thick log. Shape it into a gentle curve like a snake. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the risen dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  3. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, and garlic until smooth. Chill until ready to use.
  4. Once the bread is cool, slice it horizontally and separate the top and bottom halves. Keep the bottom halves connected to form a base.
  5. Layer the base with turkey, ham, cheese, tomato slices, and shredded lettuce.
  6. Spread venom sauce on the cut side of the top half of the loaf, then place it over the sandwich base to close.
  7. For decoration, use a strip of roasted red pepper as the tongue. Attach pickle slices and olive slices with pretzel sticks or toothpicks for the eyes.
  8. Optional: Decorate the serving platter with extra lettuce for a “grass” effect.
  9. Slice into 20 portions and serve with extra venom sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free butter and cheese alternatives for a dairy-free version.
  • Customize the fillings with your favorite deli meats and veggies.
  • The sandwich can be assembled a few hours in advance and chilled.
