Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Combine warm water and dried active yeast in a mixing bowl and stir gently until bubbly.
  2. Blend in olive oil. This is the base for the breadsticks.
  3. Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, then combine with the yeast and oil mixture using a dough hook...
  4. If kneading by hand, transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Divide the dough into 50g pieces and roll into snake shapes, making heads thicker and tails tapered.
  2. Wrap each piece around wooden kebab sticks, place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C (425°F) and bake for 15 minutes until golden-brown.
  4. Mix food color gel with water and brush over the baked sticks, then sprinkle with seeds if desired.
  5. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, let cool slightly, and gently twist off kebab sticks.
  6. Use toothpicks to poke holes for the eyes and tongues with chopped olives and orange peppers.
